Bio:

I was born in Rochester NY, which isn't as country as you'd think just because it’s upstate. I’ve had many obstacles in my life that I’ve overcome which have made me who I am. I’ve attended over 16 schools, have lived in Florida and now California. I was raised by my loving young mother and sister who are also my best friends and biggest supporters. I was a cheerleader during high school but wasnt the best behaved. It got to a point where I was suspended then eventually expelled. In my senior year I changed it all around to become captain of the team and was also rewarded high honor roll. After high school I attended college for almost a year before i began modeling. I feel I have time to go back to school but only so much time being young and ready to make my dreams happen. I’ve shot with over 50 photographer in the past 3years which have all taught me something and have been blessed to be acknowledged for my hard work. Ive been in LA 10months and have accomplished a lot from getting signed to an agency, shooting over 10music videos, 5 movies, 3 magazine covers, clothing store ads and much more! I am also the face of a new clothing line, Victoria Marie Fashion. I have amazing people in my life always sharing positive energy that keeps me going. I’m very dedicated to achieving success but im also a goof who loves to laugh and is very down to earth. Any man who wants attention should definitely be able to humor me. I’m a passionate and affectionate person but not at all needy. I have an addiction to anything with cheese, sweets, gummie bears and combos, crazy that i can keep my figure lol! I’m a people person, love to talk and even at my young age, I have alot of advice to give. I have extremley high goals within the next three years to have my own billboard with large advertisements, a lead role in a feature film and it doesnt stop there. I want to be able to inspire people through my journey to become a success with just dream and hard workThis 21 year old Upstate NY beauty is new to CA and taking the entertainment industry by storm!! Within only a few short months of her arrival to the west coast, Jillisa Lynn has cultivated an attentive audience of followers and fans with her extraordinary appearance and ‘down to Earth’ demeanor. She’s the pinup calendar dreamgirl that’s “real” enough to mingle with the old to the young. Her multi-ethnic ancestry (Italian, Puerto Rican, French and Jewish) is a catalyst for racial harmony in itself. In 2010, her image will grace enough magazine covers and internet sites to rival that of a young Cindy Margolis.
