Michele Rodkey Kubala
Social and Special Events Co-Director
Owner, Kubala Health​ LLC
​
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. ​

Paulette Wagner
Social and Special Events Co-Director
Co-Owner, Bump to Baby Boutique
​
Paulette owns Bumps to Baby Boutique, a maternity and baby boutique located in Valrico. We offer the largest in-store selection of maternity wear in the Tampa Bay Area, along with thoughtfully curated baby items and clothing.
​
As a woman-owned business, I'm passionate about supporting moms through every stage of motherhood- from pregnancy to the baby's first steps. Our Boutique is more than just a store - it's a community space where moms can connect, shop, and feel empowered.
​
I'm proud to help lead this amazing ladies' group, and I'm deeply committed to supporting other women through events, mentorship, and small business collaboration. I also serve on the board of The Freedem to Walk Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to improving mobility and quality of life for individuals with neurological conditions by providing access to life-changing technology.
​
Giving back is at the heart of everything I do—whether that's through location donation drives, new mom meetups, or partnering with other owner businesses. I truly believe in the power of community, and I'm honored to be part of a group of women who lift each other up.​​​​
