She studied at Montclair State University's Cali School of Music where she had the privilege of studying with Peggy Schecter, founder of the New Jersey Chamber Music Society and Susan Palma-Nidel, principal flutist of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.

Although a classical player by trade, Michelle's interest in different genres of music led her to study latin, jazz and world music.

As a performer she has performed as a soloist and in ensembles throughout the United States and England.
