| Michelle received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Work
from Southeastern Louisiana University in 1996. She then focused her organizing
efforts towards improving the lives of Louisiana children and families who
were victims of abuse. Michelle initiated the start up of a private non-profit
Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) to coordinate the efforts of community
organizations, state agencies, and law enforcement officials to holistically
serve the best interests of abused children in Louisiana. Michelle's tactical
and management expertise was key to the development and expansion of the
CAC throughout the 21st Judicial District. With the successful CAC up and running in Louisiana, Michelle set her sights on Washington, DC, where she gained a Master of Arts degree in Political Management from The George Washington University. In 1998, she joined the staff of Senator Mary L. Landrieu (D-LA) as a Legislative Correspondent where she handled children’s issues, health care, agriculture, and transportation issues. In 2000, Michelle joined the staff of Legislative Demographic Services in Arlington, Virginia, as a Senior Account Executive managing grassroots outreach for Fortune 50 corporations, responsible for the concept, design and implementation of grassroots mobilizations on critical issues. During this time, Michelle was also a Instructor at the Graduate School of Political Management at George Washington University, teaching “Grassroots Politics.” In October of 2002, Michelle decided it was time to move back to Louisiana and begin working for the best interests of children in her home state. She operates a public affairs firm, Prism Solutions, L.L.C., working with state associations and departments focusing on improving the lives of Louisiana’s children and families. |
