From a young age, Michelle danced ballet and jazz. Moving onto cheerleading was an exciting progression which she began in 2006. She quickly moved into competing herself and coaching teams not only in New Zealand, but also in Melbourne Australia. Teams she has coached have won national titles in both countries.

Choreography is a main passion for Michelle, whom enjoys bringing each athletes individual flare together as a whole unit.

Michelle also has two children (3yrs and 9months) who keep her busy in her spare time.
