Michelle earned a bachelor’s degree in International Studies and Political Science from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and a Master of Religious Education from Loyola University New Orleans. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness program.
Her academic work explores the spiritual impulse which finds expression in various wisdom traditions that have emerged in human history to preserve and pass on the experience of the sacred and seeks to integrate this into curricula she designs that are related to cosmology/ecology. Her core academic interests include educational methodology as a "pedagogy of the universe."
