Experience

Michelle has more than a decade of writing experience as a journalist, marketing strategist, and content writer. She has covered everything from breaking Florida news to the latest in the hospitality/tourism market for the CBS affiliate website in Orlando, FL. Michelle has since traded in breaking news and higher education marketing to write about her passions — food and travel! She started in food writing by doing restaurant reviews for a small, local community publication out of college. When she's not working or exploring the outdoors, she's trying out exciting new healthy, and delicious recipes in the kitchen (while trying to get her toddler to eat some more vegetables!) Michelle also teaches online undergraduate communications courses.

Education

Michelle has a master's in business administration from Regis University, where she focused on Marketing. She also has a Bachelor of Arts in journalism from the University of Central Florida.
