Marisa earned a Bachelor's degree from Yale University and an MPH and JD from the University of Michigan. She was a part of the admissions team at Yale University, where she wore several hats. Marisa was a recruitment coordinator, senior interviewer, and senior presenter at Yale.

During this time, she organized admitted students' days, shared institutional thought leadership with prospective families, organized and conducted campus tours, interviewed prospective students, and subsequently provided input on admissions decisions.

She brings this philosophy to Juris as she helps clients craft unique narratives.
