Her diving started in 2008 and has had a lifelong fascination and love for sharks. She did every report she could on sharks throughout school. Michelle started her diving career mainly out of Wilmington North Carolina, where she has spent every summer diving with the sand tiger sharks, and an occasional sandbar shark. What started out as a bucket list item to get certified and go to the Caribbean once, has turned into Michelle’s passion. Michelle is a PADI Divemaster. Her day job is as an attorney who specializes in Social Security Disability, but she’s also worked in criminal law, both in NC and CA. She has a certificate in Entertainment Law: Business and Legal Affairs from UCLA and hopes to be involved in some creative content combining her love of sharks and the ocean, in order to bring more awareness of conservation.
