Michelle caught the acting bug as a very young child growing up in Atlanta, GA staying up late to watch shows like Dallas and Moonlighting with her Mom.  A natural born performer, she attended ice skating lessons, dance lessons, voice lessons and even went to the performing arts elementary and high schools in my county.

In high school at DCPA, she excelled academically and graduated Valedictorian.  From there she went on to George Washington University on an academic scholarship.  At GW she majored in Archaeology and had the wonderful opportunity to work on digs in Wales and Ireland.  After college, she worked a number of different jobs including environmental lobbyist, flight attendant, and ice skating coach.

While in DC, Michelle worked on numerous commercials, industrials, and plays.  You could find her generally once a month performing a Murder Mystery at various dinner locations about town (their deadly heartbreak Valentine’s show was very popular).

Michelle also went on tour around the country in a 15-passenger van performing as the lead in “Play It Again, Sam.”  It seems like there wasn’t a college campus, army base, or country club they didn’t perform in at least once.

It wasn’t long after the tour that she chose to move to Los Angeles and pursue acting full time.  With the help of her Grandmother, she saved up enough money working as a flight attendant to make the move across country.

Once in LA, Michelle began classes at Playhouse West and has worked on a number of short films, music videos, print ads, and television shows.  She is also a committee member of the Playhouse West Film Festival and  spends her free time interning at various casting offices and her agency.
