Mykaela
Mykaela - Guide

Mykaela

After moving to the North Shore in middle school, Mykaela quickly fell in love with Salem, and has since spent half her life here. Her passion for history stems from her belief in a strong, supportive community, and equitable access to education. Aside from history and politics, you can usually hear her discussing her cat Boopboop (yes that is the cat's real name,) or singing along far too loudly to the radio in her car. She would recommend Koto for sushi.
