Bitten by the proverbial baby bug while expecting her first child in 2004, Michelle transitioned from her position as Purser with Air Jamaica and embarked on her first entrepreneurial venture. She opened a premium retail store for children, which provided the foundation she now stands on as a ‘Momtrepreneur’. During her seven years of operation as a retail storeowner, Michelle learned the key components to creating a successful balance between her journey of motherhood and entrepreneurship.
Her voice as an inspiration to take chances, live boldly, and always innovate is heard through her work over the past 19 years, where she has created and stood at the helm of multiple ventures. She is the founder, CEO, and Editor-in-Chief of B3 Parenting Magazine, the Caribbean’s first dedicated parenting publication; the editor of Indulge Food & Wine Magazine; and most recently, she launched The BossMom Magazine, a celebration of mothers-in-business. She is the curator of several calendar lifestyle events and philanthropic projects, including confidence-building events such as Island Child Style, BOLDgirl, and OurSons. In 2022, Michelle was named a Goodwill Ambassador for her favorite local charity, Food for the Poor. She has made her name in the parenting sphere, where she is a ‘key connector’ for businesses to the mothers and families who most need their products and services.
Michelle is proficient in creative business and product development, brand-building, publishing, and event marketing and execution. She has over 25 years of experience in customer relations and leadership management, which adds to her portfolio success in the areas of project conceptualization, event production and management, motivational presenter, content producer, parenting consultant, and occasional blogger.
