Michela was born on March 14th, 1996 in Redwood City, CA. She grew up in San Bruno and Millbrae and attended Lomita Park Elementary and Taylor Middle School.

Michela began playing softball at the age of 5 and played competitively as a pitcher throughout 3 years of high school. She was a caregiver to everyone and she loved helping kids. She worked first and played later. Michela was a very responsible young adult. She worked at Urban Outfitters in the Fillmore District of San Francisco and at Duggan's Mortuary. Her favorite color was green—she loved green. Michela loved her longtime boyfriend Alex. She loved llamas and felt they were the "forgotten ones." She loved to collect socks and collected them from all of the places she travelled. She often asked her family to bring her socks in place of other gifts when they travelled. Michela shared a special bond with her brother David Jr. They both supported each other in all their endeavors.
