A defining influence on Michelle’s outlook is her experience surviving a serious illness during her teenage years, when she spent two years in the hospital and faced several life-threatening complications. Having witnessed the loss of other patients, she developed a profound appreciation for life and came to view her recovery as a second chance she is determined to make the most of. This perspective continues to motivate her to pursue growth, embrace opportunities, and contribute positively to the lives of others. Outside of work, Michelle enjoys spending time near the ocean with her husband, exploring the outdoors, traveling, and practicing Pilates to maintain her health and well-being. Through her professional leadership, community involvement, and personal resilience, Michelle exemplifies a commitment to collaboration, service, and making a meaningful difference.
