Maile School Star Grad:
Doreen Ratigan

Doreen first discovered the Maile School when her daughter, Anise, took the Kids Acting program back in 2004. She said she was very impressed with the organization and professionalism of The Maile School, and the opportunities offered to students, both young and adult.

Doreen is preparing to retire from 35 years of public school teaching and has decided to launch her 2nd career as a print model and commercial film actor.  She has a strong background in theater, music and dance and always enjoyed performing on stage.

Doreen says, “The perfect preparation for me was to register at The Maile School in the Adult On Camera Acting program. This program gave me everything I needed to build my audition skills and self-confidence in commercial acting. We had the opportunity to learn from successful working actors, meet local talent agents, and casting directors. An additional bonus was meeting an amazing group of fellow actors who will become my friends and colleges for years to come!  I met and signed with a talent agent at one of the many free seminar offered to Maile students and graduate”.

Doreen is proud to say she is a working actor. She booked an extra part along with her daughter Anise a hip hop music video, produced by former Maile School graduate and pop singer, Alexis Kritsky. The song is titled “Cross the Line”. She was interviewed on WKMG Local 6, about the video and the mission to end bullying in schools.

She can be seen in promotional brochures and videos for Sun Communities, Inc. an international company owning over 600 retirement properties in the United States. She also landed TV work for the Home Shopping Network (HSN) as a cosmetics product model.

Doreen says, “This is only the beginning of a wonderful new adventurous career! Thanks to the Maile School staff and teachers’ training and guidance, I know I am on the road to success!”

Doreen is beautiful inside and out. Go for it Girl!
