Michelle was born and raised in Roswell, Georgia and is currently attending the University of North Georgia where she will complete a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice with a forensic focus.

She is a current resident of Marietta and lives with her parents and three younger siblings. Michelle first heard about the Montessori approach to education through her eldest sister who presently leads an infant program at MMSKM. She enjoyed learning alongside her and was inspired to pursue a career as a Nido assistant here at Milton Montessori. 

While caring for young children, Michelle finds joy in learning from them and nurturing their independence. She takes pride in being part of the MMSKM community where she experiences the love adults have for each other and the children they serve. 

During her free time, she enjoys listening to music and podcasts, spending time with her older siblings and sharing laughter with her family.
