As a teenager, she performed with the North Port Orchestra, the Venice Symphony, and other various local orchestras. In 2008, she performed with the Sarasota Youth Philharmonic Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

She attended Florida Atlantic University before transferring to Stetson University. She graduated from Stetson University in 2012 with Bachelors of Music in Violin Performance and Music Technology.

Comedy
In November 2019, Misura took an Orlando comedy class. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, she started recording a musical comedy album and said she was inspired by "people telling me what I could and couldn’t say, or what I should or shouldn’t joke about."
