Marissa DuBois is a popular model, digital content creator, and social media influencer. She became widely known after a video of her walking the runway at Fort Lauderdale Fashion Week went viral on X (formerly Twitter) in July 2023. Marissa was wearing a green bikini, and the video quickly gained attention, bringing her into the spotlight.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Marissa is 28 years old. She graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminology from Florida State University in 2016. While she initially trained to be a detective, Marissa realized that it wasn’t the right fit for her and decided to explore new career options. She left her job as a detective to become a digital nomad and pursue a career in content creation.

Marissa’s entrepreneurial spirit comes from her father, an entrepreneur himself. She credits him for inspiring her to be open to entrepreneurship and explore different career paths. She started learning about marketing and online platforms, working as a waitress and bartender while building her skills.
Her first venture into social media was through affiliate marketing. She worked at Global Affiliate Zone from 2017 to 2019 and later became a market partner at Monat Global. In 2020, Marissa took on a marketing specialist role at Virtual Marketing 360.

After helping others with their social media, Marissa decided to focus on her own brand. She now has a significant following across various platforms, including TikTok and Instagram, where she collaborates with brands like PrettyLittleThing and Fashion Nova. Her YouTube channel, launched in 2018, has 361 thousand subscribers and features vlogs, try-on hauls, and more.
Despite her online success, Marissa emphasizes that being a social media influencer isn’t as easy as it looks. She says that her career requires a lot of hard work and perfectionism, but it pushes her to constantly improve herself. Her success didn’t happen overnight—it took time and dedication.
