Michele J Ross

Michele was born in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, but like many Floridians, relocated here when her parents chose to move to Sarasota. After graduating from Riverview High School, she was accepted to the University of Florida on a full academic scholarship. She graduated a year early with Bachelor’s degrees in Political Science, and Spanish and was awarded membership into Phi Kappa Phi, an honor society for students in the top 10% of their class.

Michele’s hard work paid off when she was awarded another full academic scholarship to Stetson University College of Law. As the student with the best oral argument in her Research and Writing class, Michele was selected to compete in the prestigious Carlton-Fields First-Year Appellate Advocacy Competition. She enjoyed her campus involvement, serving on the Executive Board for various organizations. Michele was inducted into the oldest legal organization in the United States, Phi Delta Phi, before graduating ninth in her class.

Michele works as corporate counsel for the cybersecurity awareness training company, KnowBe4, located in Clearwater, Florida.
