Michaels developed a passion for acting in junior high school, and after graduating, moved to New York City to pursue it. She attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York and completed three semesters but withdrew from the school before graduation. While working as a bartender at a restaurant, she was discovered by Alayne Skylar, a talent scout.
After moving to Los Angeles, Michaels landed the role of Nicole Julian on Popular.
In 2002, Michaels guest-starred on the Fox show That '80s Show, followed by a guest appearance in 2004 on the Showtime drama The L Word. In 2005, she played the character Tess on the NBC series Committed.
In 2003, Michaels played the role of Max in the short-film D.E.B.S.. The film received several awards[citation needed] and later was expanded to a feature-length film of the same name and released in 2004. However, most of the actresses in the original D.E.B.S. were replaced for the expanded version, including Michaels.
