About the Author

Michelle has a Certificate in Manuscript Editing from University of Chicago; an MA in Writing from DePaul University; and a BA in Psychology from NYU. Her ongoing education includes continuing studies in neuroscience, mindfulness, nature education, writing pedagogy, and parenting. These are also the subjects she writes about and integrates into the writing circles she facilitates. Her essays have appeared in Discover Magazine, Insider, Hippocampus, Humans & Nature… and elsewhere. She’s currently at work on The Trauma-Sensitive Editor, a project to protect brave writers while they endeavor to publish challenging stories (stories that both challenge the creator and challenge the status quo).
