The discovery of her passion for film started at the age of 15 when she started writing and filming stories out of songs and simple sentences. Born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, Lisetty immigrated to Canada alone to refine her craft. She trained at Humber College in the Film and Television Production program and under the wing of her master Thomas Dean Donnelly the writer known for the film Conan the Barbarian.
She produced and directed her first narrative short film, The Fallen, a short documentary El Blanco. She performed several roles in the faith based talk show "Horizons" as producer assistant and director at Rogers TV in Toronto.

This led her to the making of her first feature Penelope's Story which is about a strong willed teenage girl, Penelope, tormented through the years of sexual slavery, want to escape her bondage, but her new found faith must be tested to break the cycle of abuse. Penelope's Story started its festival run and had its premiere at the Latin American film festival in Ottawa on June 2.
