Born and raised in Dubuque, Michelle moved away 15 years ago, living in Ft. Collins, CO, Madison, WI and Chicago. While fully enjoying her time and experiences in these places, she realized there is no place like home and moved back in 2004. One thing she brought back with her is a love of food and cooking. A self-proclaimed food junkie, Michelle did a lot of traveling during this time and made a point to hit as many restaurants and try as many different types of food as possible. I can spend hours watching the Food Channel on TV or reading my cookbooks (over 40) to see what new dish I feel like trying. Yes, I know sad, but true. But her family and friends reap the benefits.Outside of cooking and eating, she did spend these years developing her skills in customer relations working in various industries, most recently in advertising with a daily newspaper. Working with customers and helping them be successful is what motivates Michelle everyday. |
