At the age of three, Michelle had her first dance recital at a local DC area dance studio. As a tap dancing Minnie Mouse performing to the Mickey Mouse Club theme song, she was the only one off book on the lyrics and the loudest kid on the stage (naturally).

​

Maybe it shouldn't have been a surprise that she turned into a dancing beltress-- well-versed in all dance styles, but especially notable for her expertise in rhythm tap. After many more dance recitals, she graduated from Marymount Manhattan College with a degree in theatre and fell in love with the city of dollar slices and Broadway. She has been living in NYC ever since, with credits including The National Tour CATS (Jennyanydots), Signature Theatre's production of A Chorus Line, and Barrington Stage Company.
