Julissa Calderón is a Dominican-American actress, producer, and writer from Miami, FL. She starred on the hit Netflix show GENTEFIED. Before her rise in Hollywood, Julissa worked many jobs, most times, she worked more than one simultaneously. Waitressing was always one of them, as it allowed her to have a flexible schedule to be able to audition. Prior to that, she lived in Gainesville, FL where she received her education from the University of Florida; it was there where she found her love for journaling. Having come from humble beginnings, she attributes her success and all that she has from her “I can manifest everything I want in life” mindset.
