Michelle is a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA/L) who has been practicing at our Winona location since June 2018. Michelle earned her Associate’s degree at Western Technical College in La Crosse, WI. Michelle has worked with children most of her life. Michelle started working at Partners because she enjoys helping others and wanted to make a difference in others’ lives. She enjoys working with families and helping children become as independent as possible with daily living skills. Michelle also enjoys using her creative play side to target goals.

When she is not at Partners, Michelle spends most of my time outdoors. She has four children of her own. Michelle enjoys yard games, gardening, fishing, and spending time with my family. She also has a small orchard with a variety of fruit trees and berry bushes that her and her husband take care of. During the winter months, Michelle enjoys baking and craft activities.
