From an early age, Morganna discovered two things: her artistic vocation and her gender identity. When she was only four years old, she started singing and was a soloist in the school's nuns' choir. According to her own words, one day she woke up and felt her feminine identity living inside her body. She began to put on makeup and emulate female TV stars. This of course, caused a shock in her family and she faced rejection. She first defined herself as a gay boy, despite knowing that deep down she was a woman.

There, thanks to her participation in a trans beauty contest entitled Miss International Queen, she learned of the existence of the prestigious surgeon Preecha Triewtanon, one of the great world eminences of sex reassignment surgeries. It was he who gifted her the surgery. Her operation was performed by surgeon Burin Wangjiraniran of the PAI (Preecha Aesthetic Institute) clinic and brought Morganna closer to the ideal life she was seeking.
