After obtaining an associate’s degree in media broadcasting in 2013, Michele decided to take some time off to see if she wanted to continue down that path. She always had an interest in the beauty business seeing her mom, being dual-licensed, working in spas while she was growing up. Michele was always a model for any new waxer or esthetician being hired. After some time, she decided to take the plunge and enroll at NYIB. 

After graduating NYIB, Michele was hired at The Salon at ULTA Beauty. She became Dermalogica certified and received training in peels and microdermabrasion. Up until a few months ago, she was hired at a wellness spa. She is continuing her education by becoming trained in micro-needling and lasers. 

“Continuing education is so important in this field. Our industry is always growing and it’s important for us as educators to be well versed in all different forms of treatments and technology. I love sharing my stories and experiences with the students to help them grow and succeed after graduation.”
