About Me

who is she?

Michelle is a comedian, actor, & writer. This queer Michigander has been honing her improv, sketch, writing, & stand-up skills for nearly a decade at comedy theaters (and basements) in Chicago, Tokyo, DC, & NYC. 

 

She (is a cliché) performed improv as a part of the iO Harold Team Mothership, sketch as a part of Second City’s Severn Darden house & musical ensembles, and stand-up in her one-woman-show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. 

​

Michelle has written (too many) heartfelt sapphic Midwestern rom-coms, earned a PhD in lesbian yearning, and received accolades for her comedy pilot EXPOSURE. 

 

Her ultimate goal is to write on a comedic, emotional, and inclusive show like PEN15, INSECURE, SHRILL, ABBOTT ELEMENTARY, or HACKS. Michelle is currently seeking representation (and a haircut).

 

Michelle is always writing, sometimes funny, and never awkward...
