About 2 years ago, Michelle began ballroom dancing. She dances several times a week and has recently started competing. Her favorite dance is the tango.
Personal Hang-up:
Michelle is admittedly compulsive about making lists (ask her what she wore last Thursday and she can tell you). On the upside, this makes her a very organized person.
Little-Known Fact:
Michelle was the 1988 Minnesota State High School Women's Foil Champion (a foil is a type of sword used for fencing).
Her Dancing Shoes:
As a competitive ballroom dancer, Michelle has performed at competitions all over the U.S. including the 1995 Nationals. She placed fourth in Nationals in American Rhythm, her favorite dance style. Michelle also enjoys going country dancing at least once a week. She competes with her amateur partner and her professional teacher in rhumba, cha cha, swing, bolero and mambo.
Personality Plus:
Michelle's energetic and entuhsiastic personality suited her previous college exploits (as a camp counselor and as a waitress), and serve her well in her position at RAA, too.
Michelle is incredibly optimistic about life in general, and especially about her work at RAA: "I really enjoy working with our clients and helping them put together winning stategies and effective campaigns!"
