Laimarie was born in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. At the tender age of 5
with the help of her father, she began writing, casting and directing
plays for her church as long as she was always the leading actress.
Being the only girl and the youngest of 4 children, her parents
supported and encouraged her creativity. The family moved to
Indianapolis, Indiana when Laimarie was 7 years old. The move was a
difficult one for Laimarie, because she did not speak English which kept
her from participating in any school productions for a while.
Laimarie's #1 priority was to learn English and quickly became involved
in School plays & Folk dancing competitions at her elementary school.
At 13, Laimarie won the Miss Indianapolis Teen USA Pageant, and she went on to compete in the "Miss Indiana Teen USA Pageant" this experience gave her a new determination, and the very next
year she entered the "Millie Lewis Modeling Competition" in Atlanta. She won 2nd place overall in both the Runway
competition, and the commercial competition and 1st place overall in the
Photography competition. At the convention, she sparked the interest of
a few agencies from New York and within a few months she was in New
York going out on castings. After a couple of months she returned to
Indianapolis, where she continued going to school. In 1996, she was
accepted into "Conceptos", the prestigious music school at "Televisa"
in Mexico City, Mexico. Upon her return to the United States in 1998, she made the move to Miami. While
in Miami she worked as the host for "Caliente" for "Univision". In 2001,
Laimarie took off for Puerto Rico to compete for the "Miss Toa Alta Universe
Pageant". After winning the pageant, she went on to represent Toa
Alta in the "Miss Puerto Rico Universe pageant". While in P.R., she
guest starred in "Eso Vale" and appeared in the publications "Vea" and
"Vanidades". In 2002, she moved to Los Angeles, where she resides and continues to work as an actress.
