Early life

Berríos was born on November 30, 1990, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She was raised in Carolina and moved to Florida after her parents divorced.[3] She initially studied business administration at Kaplan University but as of 2020 studies healthcare administration at University of Central Florida.[1][4]

Berríos and her older sister Julianna started Sweets by Sisters, Inc., a bakery specializing in extravagantly-decorated cakes, in 2019, but it wasn't until the initial COVID-19 stay-at-home orders that they were able to turn their focus to growing their business. She confirmed in 2020 in an interview with Epiko Magazine that she had retired from pageantry.[1]
