Early life
The Girlfriend Experience was born in Germany. She was raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Germany, by her mother and father, respectively.[1]
As a teenager, she was kicked out of her home by her mother when it was discovered that she was attending gay bars. She then began performing in drag on Davie Street in Vancouver while working part-time at a local McDonald's. She reconnected with her family after 7 years of performing, which motivated her to become sober.[4]
