Michelle was born and raised in the Cleveland area. She earned a bachelor’s degree in education and taught for five  years in the Cleveland Public School system before becoming a stay-at-home mom to four wonderful boys. Michelle grew up attending Mayfield United Methodist Church and found her new church home at Willoughby Hills United Methodist when Mayfield moved. For the past 20 years, she has had the joy of working in the nursery, where she loves teaching little ones about Jesus’ love for each of them and nurturing a love for church. Her goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where families feel comfortable leaving their little ones, knowing they are safe, loved, and learning about God.

Outside of church, she enjoys teaching, camping, hiking, and spending time with her family, friends and dog, Jessie.
