Meet Mikeala!

Mikaela Coakley grew up in the suburban city of Burlington, Ontario.
She moved just around the bend of Lake Ontario to Toronto to study at
Humber College and to follow her dreams of living in a big city. She
is currently enrolled in her final year of school, receiving a Bachelor
of Commerce within the field of Fashion Management.

She currently works two jobs both unrelated to one another. She has
worked at Starbucks as a barista for over six years and enjoys the
aspect of getting to know her loyal customers by chatting and sharing
her knowledge and love of both coffee and tea. Her second job consists
of working at a retail skate shop called West 49 as an e-commerce sales
associate. This role includes gathering, packing, and shipping out
online purchases. She enjoys the ability to work within the
skateboarding culture and learn about new collaborations and trends
that evolved from the sport. While working she gains information on the
demands and growth trends of e-commerce which will support her
knowledge in her future career within the fashion industry.

Practising sustainable living is very important to Mikaela, she has
been a vegetarian for over six years and takes pride in finding more
ways to reduce a negative environmental impact. When she has time off
between her busy work and school schedule, she will most likely be
attending a concert of one of her favourite musicians, de-stressing
with a yoga and meditation session, exploring a nearby forest, or
cuddled up in bed watching a classic horror flick.
