Hello.
A native of Westhampton Beach, New York, Michele has carved out a distinguished path in the editorial and entertainment realms, producing compelling content. Educated at FIT in graphic design, packaging design, and art direction, she began her career in the art and fashion departments of Missbehave and Mass Appeal magazines, later joining the fashion editorial team at CITY Magazine while assisting numerous NYC-based stylists and creative directors. It was a formal internship at Parents Magazine that wrangled Michele into becoming the photo producer she is today. Her love for photo production and art direction is matched with a passion for food and fashion. Formerly the Senior Brand Photo Manager for Travel Channel and Investigation Discovery (WBD), Michele is currently the east coast Photo Director and Producer for CBS/Paramount.
In her spare time, she likes to spend time with her family in France and Long Island, hang with her lifelong friends, tend to her oyster babies, and make sea salt.
