Michelle is a member of SAG/AFTRA/AEA. While it has been some years since Michelle left Los Angeles, you can still catch her in re-runs of CSI, Deadwood, One-on-One and Dragnet.

A demo with clips from her work in film and TV from 2000-2006 can be found here.

THEATER

While Michelle thoroughly enjoyed her years in LA, her focus today is primarily on live theater, international collaboration,  arts education as well as coaching/public speaking in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.  She is especially passionate about supporting individuals in a range of professions share their stories with confidence, power and poise. 

In LA, Michelle was a member of Ensemble Studio Theater LA, the Open Fist, and the Classical Theater Lab. In the Bay Area, she worked for many years with foolsFURY.

Although a member of AEA, she now directs more often than she performs. However, she was delighted to be part of "Blue Monkey Love Cuts - Redux"in the SF Fringe in 2023.

In 2021, she loved acting in a reading of a powerful new play, 59 inches, directed by Aimee Greenberg for Remote Theater, and working with Tom Bentley-Fisher on a short project exploring Hamlet. (Yes, it is ever a pleasure to return to her entry point, and first love, in this collaborative art form, i.e. acting.)

The trailer of her one-person show,  Hamlet Sheryl and Me,  (directed by Ben Yalom and produced by FoolsFURY) which enjoyed a successful 2017 run can be seen here.
