| Info | Michelle’s first role models were her educator parents and her trailblazing grandparents. The latter included the first Black teacher and principal on Cape Cod, an instructor for the Tuskegee Airmen, and a “Rosie the Riveter.” Growing up in small towns across Massachusetts, Virginia, and Texas, Michelle lived in rural, farming, and suburban communities and experienced food and housing insecurity during parts of her childhood.
Michelle worked her way through Barnard College at Columbia University and The George Washington University Law School—the first woman in her family to earn a law degree. Her husband is a U.S. Air Force Veteran, and her family have served in all five branches of the military. Now a long-time resident of the Manassas area, Michelle values family, service, honor, and integrity.
Michelle knows how to work through conflict in divided environments. She applies a strong code of ethics, tenacity, and compassion to complex problems, with experience supporting a broad range of partners—from youth groups, to communities experiencing violence, to Palestinian and Israeli mothers impacted by war, to veterans and first responders, to United Nations peace keepers and humanitarian aid workers.
No stranger to crisis situations, Michelle has worked with federal law enforcement at the southern border, Minnesotans processing the murder of George Floyd, Michiganders experiencing the Flint water crisis, and Congressional staffers recovering from the events of January 6th. Michelle is both a bridge-builder and a fighter, able to envision and develop functional solutions under significant pressure.
Michelle listens, works across the aisle, and gets things done. She knows what it takes to make things right, and does the work to get there. She fights for the rights and resources for women, workers, students, our LGBTQ+ community, immigrant families, veterans, people living with disabilities, and family-owned and small businesses. Drawing on decades of related law and business experience, Michelle co-founded the bipartisan Technology & Innovation Caucus, established the AI Technology Initiative, and serves on the national steering committee of the AI Work Group for state legislators.
Her leadership is appreciated and recognized. While in the Virginia House of Delegates, Michelle was named “Rookie Legislator of the Year” and “Education Champion.” She serves as chair of the Affordable Housing Policy Committee and as a member of the Education, Courts of Justice, Privileges and Elections, and School Health Services committees.
