Marissa is my twin sister and truly my built-in best friend.  Marissa is outgoing and driven. She has always been there for me if I need a friend, a laugh, advice or someone to push me outside of my comfort zone. Marissa and I went to college far away from each other, but now live 3 hours apart and I enjoy being the closest we have been in a long time!
