Killed while in her car driving on the interstate when a 12-yr old boy jumped off of a bridge onto the interstate below, landing on Marisa's vehicle.

She was an only child in her family. Her uncle reported that Marisa Harris grew up in Olney, Maryland and had traveled the world.

She was a graduate student studying clinical psychology.

As an undergraduate, Harris attended Towson University.

She was just getting started to live an altruistic life helping troubled children.

Harris was a first-year graduate student studying clinical mental health counseling at Marymount University in Virginia.

"Marisa was very quiet and reflective, but you could tell once she completed her program she was going to make a difference in the lives of a lot of young adults," counseling department Chair Lisa Jackson-Cherry said in a statement issued by the university. "Perhaps one of the largest impacts of this tragedy will be the loss of the positive impact that she would have had on others."
