Michelle was born in Wiesbaden, Germany and moved to Florida when she was two. She studied Broadcast Communications and Accounting before finding her passion in education. While getting her degree, she met her husband, who continued to encourage her to pursue her passion. After graduation, she worked as a first-grade teacher for five years and a fifth-grade teacher for one year before moving to Colorado.
