Michelle was painfully shy as a baby and young child; so much so that her mother was the only person Michelle could comfortably be around. Her shyness kept her from even being able to order a meal at a restaurant. She forced herself to overcome the condition by taking weekly dance classes at Delarue Dance Centre. In high school, she tried out for and landed a spot on the dance team - the STM Sparklers. In college, she found herself winning awards in speech class. She now enjoys the spotlight but still will say that the thought of the red carpet scares the bejeezus out of her.
