Educational background
Her senior year in high school was very chaotic, as she was in the video production program, and invited Snoop Dogg for one of her videos on the rival game she reviewed. Mikaela once shared that she was told during her school years that she wasn’t smart enough, and still thinks that her brain is her biggest insecurity, because she was treated in such a way that she didn’t ever feel clever or able to do interesting things. That is why she didn’t enjoy studying neither at school nor at college. However, her attitude to herself changed when she studied at beauty school, as her education there went in a different way.
Mikaela matriculated from her high school in 2017, and then became a certified esthetician, as it was her main passion, even bigger than YouTubing.
