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 world, jumped out of planes, and earned her motorcycle license — proving to herself (and others) that confidence is built through action. That same fearless spirit and desire to inspire others now drives her work in the entertainment industry.

As an actress, Michelle is quickly making her mark with roles that span both comedy and drama with multiple feature and short film releases on the horizon. In modeling, she’s graced the pages of Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, and Elle, and has walked the runways of New York, Paris, and Milan Fashion Weeks. As a host, she helps others share their own 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.
