Michelle attended Edith Bowen Lab School, and graduated from Logan High School. She attended BYU-Idaho and received her degree in Child Development and Family Relations. She served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Tacoma, Washington mission and grew to love the people there.
