She stayed close to home, commuting to the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley to complete her Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology in 1996.After finishing her Clinical Fellowship and beginning her career, Michelle took some time to raise and homeschool their two children. Returning to work in 2011, she found a new passion in working with individuals living with Parkinson’s Disease.
