Shell grew up in Northern New Jersey and was constantly told by strangers, and friends of her parents how gorgeous she is and that she should model. Her mom would respond with “When she gets old enough she can decide.”.  During her teen years, Shell was too afraid to ask her mom if she could model for fear of her mother’s reaction. Therefore, since education has always been important to Shell,  she went Roger Williams University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Marine Biology and then went Montclair State University where she graduated with a Masters of Arts in Environmental Science.  

 

After college she did some freelance modeling; however, it wasn’t until a friend who is a commercial photographer told her multiple times, she should model that her career took off. Since Michelle is someone who goes after what she wants, she sent an email to an agency and 72 hrs later had signed her first contract.

 

 

Shell is a certified yoga instructor, spiritual mentor coach, and creator of Soul Alchemy Apothecary, and while she loves to travel Shell happily resides at the Jersey Shore.  She is excited about her future endeavors.
