Michaels's first job was at a hamburger restaurant in Seattle . In 2001, she moved to California and started working as a receptionist. Over time, people approached her about modeling, and she eventually tried it, figuring that if she didn't like it, she could stop. Her modeling eventually led to nude photo shoots and then porn. She has also filmed porn under the aliases Becky and Gianna Rossi.
As of May 2009, Michaels's filmography includes more than 293 DVD
