it started at age 10.
Michelle knew she wanted to make a living telling stories, and created a writer's room in her cramped bedroom closet with a "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging. (Based on this photo, a career in fashion was clearly off the table.) She's been creating content, mostly nonfiction, ever since. Michelle did graduate to a bigger office and sometimes--when it's not snowing in Boston--she even writes outside.
Michelle is the author of three nonfiction books that empower women, including a national bestseller; director and producer of two documentaries, including "Seeking Happily Ever After" (distributed by Lionsgate); and a long-term journalist for numerous publications including Huffington Post, Thrive Global, and Psychology Today. Her projects have been featured on national platforms including the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Katie's Couric's TV show Katie, etc. She has given numerous lectures and workshops for women and girls around the U.S., and spoken at several conferences, including Mom 2.0 Summit, Celebrating Women: Mind, Body & Spirit, and The Worcester Women's Leadership conference.
In 2014, Michelle founded and led the internationally recognized and award-winning nonprofit MEDIAGIRLS for six years. The organization teaches girls and young women to know their true self-worth, and how to create empowering content to help lift one another up. In 2020, she handed over the reins for MEDIAGIRLS and became the Director of Communications of Experience Camps for grieving children.
