She initially took a course on culinary arts at De La Salle-College of St Benilde and even went to the US for her internship. However, she decided she wanted to apply as a flight attendant instead. On her blog, Maine shared that she had been waiting for the application period when she started dubsmashing.
"Apparently, I had so much free time in the office. One time, I had the whole office to myself without anything to do. I got bored scrolling through different social media sites. (Which I didn’t think was even possible) And at that moment, Dubsmash was a hit…. The rest is history," she wrote.
Her videos began circulating and she was later approached by Jenny Ferre, TAPE Inc., senior vice president for creatives and operations, for an audition for Eat Bulaga.

In an interview on YES! magazine's November issue, Maine said: "Actually, off-cam po,hindi ako gano'n kakulit. Tahimik po kasi akong tao e. (I'm not very wacky. I'm really a quiet person.)"
In a video interview aired during theTamang Panahon concert, her parents Mary Ann and Teodoro Mendoza also said the same.
"Sa amin, si Menggay (Maine's nickname)tahimik siya. Medyo tahimik dahil takot siya sa tao. (When she's with us, Menggay's quiet. She's quiet because she's afraid to be around people)," mom Mary Ann shared.
"Makulit siya sa mga kapatid niya. 'Pag naghaharutan, nagsisigawan pag sila-sila lang, (She's funny and wacky when she's with her siblings. They play around, scream when they're the only ones together." Mary Ann adds. "Hindi siya nakaka-open ng direkta. Dumadaan pa kay Coleen (her sister) pag pasabi... (She does not really open up directly. It goes through Coleen if she has to say something.)"
In a interview on the November issue ofMeg magazine, hairstylist Celeste Tuviera, who has been fixing Maine's hair for commercials and photo shoots attests that Maine is a quiet girl, but changes in front of the camera.
"She's fairly quiet but she is a ball of fire when she's working," Celeste said.

Maine shared that during the abduction episode, she saw a cockroach in her area and was thankful it did not come out when she was acting, as otherwise, she would be out of character.
