Michele joined the Apollo Beach Women’s Group in January 2022 and quickly found lifelong friendships and genuine kindness. When asked by former Admin, Solangel Bell, to host monthly lunches, she happily stepped in, bringing her natural passion for connection. After moving from Maryland, and missing lifelong girlfriends, she sought a community and found it here. She is excited to join efforts with Elena Parades and Paulette Wagner in creating meaningful and fun events for our amazing community of women.

Michele lives in the Waterset community with her wonderful husband, Tom, and their sweet cat, Raja. She loves taking Florida staycations and day trips to explore surrounding cities. Whether she is relaxing at a beachside restaurant, enjoying fine dining, boating, or shopping with friends, she soaks up every bit of life. Michele thrives on meaningful experiences. She loves the thrill of amusement park roller coasters, attending Broadway shows, concerts, and local festivals, exploring museums, strolling through botanical gardens, and soaking up the sun on relaxing beach or pool days. This adventurous Aries once jumped out of a perfectly good plane—just to feel the rush of flying. While she is often on the go, she also cherishes quiet moments to recharge and reflect. ​
