She holds a B.A. in Latin American Studies and received an MFA in the school of Television, Film, & Theatre in Dramatic Writing at CSULA. Born in the San Fernando Valley, her Chicana indigena roots and inspiration extend from the urban panorama of LA to the ancient red earth of Jalisco and fertile waters of Nicaragua—spilling into her mix of comedy writing, poetry, and song.

From 1996 to 2008 she was a partner, writer, and performer with nationally touring theater comedy troupe ChUSMA.  Marisol is a co-founder of Xicana poetry and song group In Lak Ech who, since their inception in 1997 has performed throughout the Southwest, Tijuana, Mexico City, Colombia, and Chiapas.
