Life
Mary Kate Wiles (born March 28, 1987) and is an american actress and producer. She was born and grew up in Fayetville, Arkansas with her mother and father. She has one younger brother.

Shortly before college, she decided she wanted to pursue acting. To do so, Wiles moved off to LA for college.

Education
Wiles attended the University of Southern California (USC). She graduated with degrees in both theater and English Literature.

Shipwrecked
Yulin was looking for some new talent for projects and bing watched all of Mary Kate's work. She sent her an email in 2013, and Mary Kate accepted the offer to be the part of Annabel Lee and Lily. She played Annabel Lee in the short "A Tell Tale Birthday." And, she played Lily Everett in the series Kissing in The Rain. She worked closely with Yulin and Shipwrecked after this, and she began to date Sean Persuad.

She eventually was the one to convince the Persuad's to put in the work to kickstart and produce Edgar Allan Poe's Murder Mystery Dinner Party in 2016. In this show she helped do many things including producing and costuming. She reprised the role of sweet Annabel in Poe Party. This show solidified Mary Kate's membership of the core four part of the group.

In the following year, the group produced their short Noir film, The Case of the Gilded Lily. Mary Kate played the role of Vivian Nightingale. She was excited to play this role because it is outside of the usual type of part she plays. As Vivian, she sang a song in the film (Change of Scene ) and later outside the film she also sang a song (The Benefits of Being My Man).

Wiles has also played the roles of Millie Juniperscoop in American Whoopee, Taylor in A Book By Its Cover, Amy March in Little VVomen, and she will go on to play Kat Van Tassel in Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story.
