Michelle earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology degree
from the University of Georgia and moved to Charleston in 1998 to begin her Masters
of Science in Marine Biology degree from the College of Charleston. Michelle began teaching as an adjunct at the downtown Palmer Campus during graduate school and continued to do so over the course of
the next several years. After graduate
school, she worked as a Research Assistant for CofC and MUSC, with studies
focused in the reproductive biology and immunology of sea turtle and dolphin
species, respectively. During this time,
she realized that teaching was her passion in life, so she
entered the SC alternative certification program and earned her teaching certificate.
After teaching Biology, Marine Biology, and
Environmental Science for ten years at James Island Charter High, Michelle was
thrilled to be offered a full-time faculty position at TTC in 2015. She teaches Anatomy & Physiology and
Introductory Biology and was offered an office transfer from Main to Palmer
Campus last semester. When she’s not
teaching, Michelle treasures spending time with her boyfriend, Steven, and
cattle dog, Lupe. They enjoy stand-up
paddleboarding, cooking vegan delights, crocheting, gardening, participating in
community service events, and supporting the live music scene in Charleston.
