Michelle was born in Utah but her family moved to England before her first birthday. Her love for the theatre began perched on the wooden benches at the “Little Mermaid Puppet Theatre” in London.
Michelle’s family moved from England to Colorado Springs a few years later. In Colorado, Michelle studied modern dance with her mother, art and acting at Bemis Art School, and began to perform in regional productions.
Michelle’s family moved to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin in 1989. Michelle continued to perform at various theatres including the State Theatre, Mable Tainter Theatre, and the CVCA Cultural Arts Center. By the age of 18, Michelle had acted in over 30 shows in roles ranging from the forlorn Laura Ryden in “Opal” to the intense but delightful nurse in “Romeo and Juliet.” She also wrote, directed, and starred in a touring drama troupe, “Shakespeare, Live!”. Michelle wrote and directed her first official production at 17 which included a cast of 30 middle school students. Additionally Michelle was regional champion and state qualifier in #1 tennis singles, a competitive swimmer, dancer (modern and ballet), varsity basketball player, and named the top art student in high school.
