Personally
Michele is constantly seeking ways to improve herself and make meaningful contributions to the world every day.

Purpose
From a young age, Michele's mother instilled in her the importance of education and the power that accompanies it. Her grandmother demonstrated the significance of being able to take care of oneself financially at all stages of life. She aspires to lead by example in both of these values for her daughter and further strengthen them by supporting her as she discovers her own passions and pursues independence.
