Hello! My name is Michelle and I am a First Grade Teacher here at the Academy. I am local to the area and received my Bachelors of Science degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Cincinnati. GO BEARCATS! I came to the Academy in 2016, in which I have taught Kindergarten and First Grade. Before that I worked with public and private institutions throughout my twenty plus year career. It is my career mission to instill a lifelong love of learning for each student. I believe hands on practices best promote student experiences.
