Michelle returns back home to Los Angeles from living in New York City.  She recently made her Broadway debut closing Avenue Q this September.  Michelle's passion has always been for acting, singing and dancing, but becoming a puppeteer was not only something she didn't expect, but something she found great joy doing. She was cast in the 2nd company of Avenue Q--the original Las Vegas cast. Immediately after Q, she found herself following Bobby Lopez to his new venture in Orlando recreating Dory for the stage in Finding Nemo the Musical. Michelle is an Ovation Award Winner for her performance in the West Coast Premiere of Swing! at Musical Theatre West.

Kost & Rosie), It Ain’t Nothin’ But the Blues (Carter), and 42nd Street (Lorraine) to name a few. TV: “The Truth About Jane” with Stockard Channing and Ru Paul.
