Biography

Juani Feliz is an actress born in the Dominican Republic and raised in the Bronx. Juani got bit by the acting bug after getting involved in her first school play at the age of 14 and landing her first TV and film roles a year later. Her acting career took a backseat when she left NY to attend Harvard College. Wanting to explore the sciences in college, she studied Biomedical Engineering at Harvard. Right out of college, Feliz worked at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering in Boston, where she worked on a clinical trial for a melanoma cancer vaccine and helped develop biomaterials and drug delivery systems.
