Michelle has always had two passions in her career – animals and fitness. Michelle is both an animal behavior professional and welfare advocate with more than 18 years of experience and fitness professional with 11+ years of experience in fitness and health. Throughout her career, she has worked both directly in line with animal welfare and behavior, as well as “behind the scenes” managing animal organizations, shelters, and hospitals. She has received higher education degrees in animal studies including animal behavior and conservation, and veterinary forensic science. As an athlete herself, she became an instructor and trainer to motivate others by teaching the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle by creating a fun and exciting environment for everyone.
Why you support Switch4Good: I love that Switch4Good encourages people to switch to a dairy-free lifestyle through education with their evidence-based resources. I am very excited to be part of a team of brilliant individuals who want to help people remove dairy from their diet in a helpful, inspiring, and motivating way. I cannot wait to help build the largest, diverse community of people motivated to help people embrace a dairy-free lifestyle.
Favorite dairy-free food: I love any type of dairy-free ice cream. I could eat ice cream for every meal!
How she stays active: I enjoy being active by running, dancing, cycling, and playing all sports. Since moving to Nevada with my fiance and our two cats, I have been exploring all of the awesome hiking trails. When I’m not being active, you can find me watching lots and lots of television and movies!
