Michele was born and raised in Leavenworth, WA, now residing minutes out of town. Her first year of college was spent playing soccer on scholarship at Peninsula Community College, the women’s teams’ inaugural year. A graduate from Western WA University, in Bellingham, WA, Michele has a BA in Business and Humanities, minor in Economics and English, as well as a Certificate of Proficiency in A/R, A/P and Inventory from Whatcom CC. Her time is spent in the outdoors, or pouring wine at work. Michele has made it her life goal to hike all the trails in Washington, and spends every summer weekend backpacking. What Michele enjoys most about the winery she works for is the experience she gets to create for the guest she serves.
