Michelle has spent the last twenty years teaching youth of all ages in both private and public schools. She holds both a Master of Education (2009) from Pace University and a Master of Dispute Resolution from UMass Boston (2005). Michelle rekindled her love of playing classical music as an adult and realized that teaching piano was the perfect marriage between her two passions. Michelle is thrilled to be part of the teacher certification program and on the board as the vice president of EAM. Michelle currently lives in Lafayette, CO with her husband, two children Avery & Eben and their adorable dog, Charo.
