Education and early life

Niki was physically highly active as a teenager, but it’s been revealed that she struggled with eating disorders, and that she was bullied at high school; she became interested in playing video games at the age of seven, which eventually led her to launch her Twitch channel and become active on the internet.

Niki matriculated in 2020, and as she hasn’t spoken about her further education, her fans believe that she has chosen to work on her career on the internet rather than to pursue a college degree.
