Hey! Thanks for stopping by!
Hey, I’m Michel! I grew up in Rogers, Arkansas, a small town in the beautiful Ozarks. I began ballet at the age of 4 and have never looked back. Through the years I added to my interests - piano, violin, voice, and finally decided upon Musical Theatre - a combination of all my passions! I fell in love with performing and love every avenue of the arts that allows me to do so.
I love coffeeshops, journaling, traveling, wake surfing, catching sunsets, pilates, a good dance party, and building human connections. I am passionate about bridging the gap between actor and human, building confidence in creativity, and sharing the gift we possess with the world to spark hope and inspire souls …. Here’s to a lifetime pursuit of growing in this special craft!
