Michele is in charge of all things related to Middle School programs with Win the Day. Michele has a wealth of knowledge in the elementary and middle school education space. As a teacher and assistant principal for over 30 years she understands the importance of time management and planning.
Even more important is she is the mother of two athletes and wife to a lifelong coach. She wishes her two sons had access to a tool like Win the Day when they were in school.

When not working with Win the Day Michele loves spending time with her family, working out and going to the beach.
