Despite being born and raised in a small town, Kissa was ready to branch out and grow into becoming a globally recognized influencer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By the age of 14, Kissa took a job at her local pizza parlor, taking the opportunity to do so as soon as she reached the legal age to work. With a strong mentality and work ethic, she eventually decided to pursue an education in electrical engineering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In high school, Kissa was balancing work and school while maintaining high GPAs in all of her AP classes, and building towards her own career.
