Lissa Endriga was born in southern California and raised in Marietta, Georgia. She is a mixture of Filipino, Sicilian and Chinese decent. Lissa began modeling while she was still in high school, where a scout recruited her during the Miss Georgia Teen Pageant. Many opportunities came her way after that chance meeting and before long she found herself working regularly as a fashion model, ring girl and Nascar model. While she gained more and more exposure it became increasingly difficult to keep it a secret from her super-conservative and education-oriented family. In 2009 Lissa was recruited to join Destination X, a travel show that features a new breed of models competing in extreme athletic challenges in exotic locations. Destination X airs in over 66 countries including the United States. In addition to being an active TV host and model, Endriga is one of the original artists for Feed-A-Model, a Los Angeles-based art and philanthropy group that sells art to raise money for charities. She is also the founder of Phil-A-Heart, an organization dedicated to help orphans and charity-funded schools in Asia. One day she dreams of becoming a Doctor in psychology, enriching the lives of people everywhere.
