Marisa grew up in Kingston and recently moved back to the area to be close to family after living in Mississauga for a couple of years. She lives with her husband Ryan, a German Sheppard named Nala, a cat named Dallas (pictured with her), and a corn snake named Arya.
Marisa has always loved animals and knew from a young age she wanted to work with them. She had dogs and many exotic pets growing up, including rats, guinea pigs, birds and a rabbit. In her spare time, Marisa enjoys singing, playing the piano, art, baking and volleyball.
