Michelle was hired as the Early Education Advocate in 2024. She comes to TFEC with over 25 years of experience in education. Preschool, elementary, and resource teacher were all assigned positions within her formal classroom years. Prior to joining TFEC, Michelle worked with area families and youth in her private education coaching business. Michelle earned her undergrad at Thomas Jefferson University and her Education Certification through Wilson College.

She regularly supports the Ronald McDonald Charities House in Hershey, Off the Streets of Middletown, and the Homeward Bound Animal Rescue in Mechanicsburg with her time and talents. She is an active parishioner of Seven Sorrows of the BVM Church.

Michelle has lived in Central PA for over 30 years and together with her husband, Mark, raised three children. Meg, Matthew, and Marie are all collegiate grads and pursuing their individual life passions. Now that their nest is empty, she enjoys spoiling her family’s rescued, four-legged boy, Beaux. Crafting, reading, traveling and spending time at “the lake” with family are what she enjoys most in her spare time
