Education Chananya was born into a Thai-Chinese family and attended Demonstration School of Chulalongkorn University (CUD; Primary Section) for her elementary education. She has mentioned in interviews that she has had a strong passion for literature since childhood, reading both literary and historical works. While studying at CUD (Secondary Section), her desire to become a writer, coupled with the rising popularity of online literature websites at the time, led her to start publishing her writings online. During her high school years, she enrolled in the Science-Mathematics program. Her friends frequently asked her to summarize Thai language and literature content due to her outstanding language skills within her science-mathematics group, leading her to realize her enjoyment of storytelling.

Chananya graduated from CUD, Class of 44 and continued her higher education at Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University, majoring in Thai Language under the Phuak Chang Project (a program admitting individuals with exceptional skills in Thai language and literature for undergraduate studies), graduating with a Bachelor of Arts with Second Class Honors.

Career Chananya began working part-time while still a student, including proofreading, designing, and writing articles. Later, she used Twitter to summarize literary content for review, gaining popularity. However, due to Twitter's character limit, she decided to start recording video summaries of literature and uploading them to YouTube. Her first video was on Lilit Phra Lo, which received positive feedback, leading her to continue creating and sharing storytelling videos on YouTube. Chananya has mentioned in interviews with The Standard (Thai multimedia news outlet) that she is a "talkative person" who enjoys sharing knowledge and that her role as a YouTuber has supported her education.
