Michelle taught me at cadets from 03-06. Not only was she my sabre tech, she was a great friend. She was always there to help us figure out Greg’s twirls. I'll never forget in 05 when Greg was teaching the ballad, I was on the white chess team and had to learn everything backwards. Well Greg decided it’d be best if we just learned it mirroring him. He hadn't tried it on the other hand but just told us to figure it out. There was Michelle, right alongside of us learning the work, telling us not to worry because she'd teach us later. She was always that ray of hope we needed. Always there to pick us up when we had a rough day. I will never forget her smile and her positive attitude that she had for life. Love and miss you Michelle.
