Michelle focused on a workshop approach to teaching writing during her 27-year teaching career in Ohio public schools.  She and her husband, Ed, moved to Petoskey in 2017.  She enjoys many outdoor activities and finds inspiration for her own writing in the artwork of the waters, the woods, and the sky that compose northern Michigan.

Why do I write? To remember.  To imagine.  To learn.  To explore.  To heal.  To understand.  To feel. 
Writing makes me whole.
