A Leader with Integrity Dedication and Experience
With more than three decades of experience as a Certified Public Accountant specializing in governmental accounting, auditing, and finance, Michelle brings unmatched expertise to City Hall.

Built in Boca
For nearly four decades, Boca Raton has been Michelle’s home — the place that shaped her life, her family, and her purpose. From her days at Pope John Paul II High School to beginning her studies at FAU, Boca has always been where her story began.
After completing her accounting degree from FSU and gaining valuable experience with the Auditor General in Tallahassee, Michelle returned to the city she loved to build her future.
Michelle and her husband worked hard to build both a business and a family, raising four children (two sets of twins) with the values of service, humility, and doing what’s right, even when it’s hard.
