About Michelle
Biography
I enjoy practicing Social Security Disability law because I find it gratifying helping people in need and I am very interested in medicine. I have been practicing law for 20 years this year. In my spare time, I am an avid scuba diver, a PADI DiveMaster since 2012, and an avid underwater phtographer, especially of sharks. I love to travel and meet new people. I also love music, and make somewhat futile, but continuous attempts to play violin and learn to surf.
