Juani Feliz family comes from a Dominican heritage. The actress herself was born in the Dominican Republic.

She was born to her mother Ozy Feliz and her father who is more than 60 years old. She has three other sisters.
The actress began to show her interest in acting when she was first involved in school drama when she was 14 years old.
Her love for acting got so much, she began to start her own research on how to become an actress.
With continuous begging, she finally made her parents take her around the city for acting classes and open calls where later on she was scouted by a talent manager and booked a few roles in TV.
Though she acted in a few series, she had to leave acting for her further studies to attend Harvard University where she studied Biomedical Engineering.
After her graduation, she worked for Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering in Boston on clinical trials for a melanoma cancer vaccine.
