ABOUT ME

​Growing up in Ohio, Michelle was always drawn to bold experiences and a deeper purpose. With an unconventional path that has led her around the world, she’s built a career that reflects both, as an actress, model, host, and educational advocate.

Her journey began in the classroom, teaching in underserved communities both in the U.S. and abroad. This dedication to education and empowerment led her to earn an M.S. in Nonprofit Management from Columbia University, where she worked to develop mission-driven organizations around the world.

​

Never one to live life halfway, Michelle has solo-traveled across the globe, jumped out of planes, and earned her motorcycle license—proving to herself (and others) that confidence is built through action. That same fearless spirit now drives her work in the entertainment industry.

​

As an actress, Michelle is quickly making her mark with roles spanning both comedy and drama, with multiple feature and short film releases on the horizon. In modeling, she has been featured in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, and Elle, and has walked London Fashion Week as well as runways in New York, Paris, and Milan.

​

As a host, Michelle brings warmth, curiosity, and polish to red carpets, television segments, and podcasts—creating thoughtful conversations that highlight stories of growth, resilience, and success.

​

At the heart of it all, Michelle is on a mission: to inspire others to believe in what’s possible—and to give them the mindset and tools to go after it.
