Updated August 23, 2016

Julisa was born in Boston and raised her entire life in Jamaica Plain. Her parents are Puerto Rican, and Julisa understands that this means that in her veins flows the blood of African, Spaniard, and Taino ancestors. Julisa appreciates her alone time, but she is welcoming to everyone and gives people a sense of trust. She lives her life with integrity and compassion, but she is adventurous which could be perceived as risky and reckless. She carries a sense of maturity, and understands the beauty and flaws of humanity.
