Michelle grew up in Brusly, Louisiana and graduated from Brusly High School and now resides in Addis. She has one daughter, Miranda, who is married and made her a MiMi to a baby boy in December 2021. Michelle previously lived in Orange Beach, Alabama where she worked at Airbus Defense and Space as well as UTC Aerospace where she learned parts of the aviation business. She has worked in purchasing and material control for 24 years, most, in the chemical plant industry. She moved back to Louisiana in 2020 to help take care of her mother. One of her favorite places to travel to besides the beaches is New York.
