Michelle is the proud mama of Maya, a fun, adventurous 4th grader, and Gavin, a spunky, hilarious 1st grader. Born and raised in Chicago, Michelle and her husband moved up to Evanston a few years ago and have fallen in love with the college town vibe. Michelle graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, so even though she’s now surrounded by Northwestern purple, her heart will always be Badger red! Prior to having kids, Michelle worked in advertising, on both media and agency sides, and in nonprofit. Michelle and her family are always up for new and exciting adventures across Chicagoland. And in her childless moments, Michelle loves eating ALL Asian cuisines ALL THE TIME, doing yoga, performing improv, and having play dates of her own.
