Community 
She is a graduate of the 2013 Inaugural Leadership Livingston Class where her group project was one that served hungry children called the Mighty Moms Full Tummy Project.  When the class ended,  she didn’t,  and helped to expand service area of the program.  Michelle delivered over 100 bags of food each week to the French Settlement and Maurepas Elementary Schools for over five years. She is proud that her leadership projects continue to grow. Eight years later, she loves giving back to the community and volunteering is a big part of her business and personal life. She was selected for a position and currently serves on the Leadership Alumni Council – where she continues to advocate for the program that has brought so much and meant so much to her and has seen the difference it makes in our parish.
