Michele's journey into pickleball began in 2017, driven by her preparation for the US Transplant Games the following year. Instantly enamored with the sport, she delved deep, earning both PPR Coach and IFP Instructor certifications in 2019 followed by RPO certification in 2025. As a dedicated Youth Pickleball Provider (YPP) with USA Pickleball, Michele's joy lies in coaching enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels, fostering a love for pickleball within her community.
"Michelle was personable, patient, understanding and met me at the level I was at. She’s great at explaining and gave positive feedback which motivated me to keep going. It gave me confidence and helped me perform. I ran pretty late and she still gave me the same attention and helped me max out the most of the time we did have together. I highly recommend.
