- Michelle has lived in four countries and delved into the aesthetics and decoration methods in each different culture (and has skydived twice which might sound like a low number but not when you're free falling for minutes on end).
- She has learned how to fix broken bits and bobs in her house from writing repetitive home-help articles
- Michelle is currently working on a novel.
Experience
Michelle has been writing and creating content since she realized as a toddler how amazing school supplies were. During college her focus was on Literature and Creative Writing. Meanwhile, wandering the halls of an old manor where her University campus was located filled her with a passion for interior design and history. She has written for Narcity, Nevada Magazine, and a number of other online websites and publications, and while her focus has predominately been on travel, recent writing jobs have provided great insight into home topics. She has written hundreds of articles about businesses and hacks for homeowners (including an extortionate amount of blogs about HVAC systems), and loves finding new trends and tips.
Education
Michelle attended Middlesex University in London, England where she received a BA in English Literature and Creative Writing, and a MA in Media and Communications Management.
