Michelle completed an Advanced Diploma in Fashion Design and found her niche in production management while working with labels such as Nike, Puma, Adidas, Canterbury and Billabong. After relocating from Brisbane to Toowoomba, Michelle transferred her skills to working in the public service. An opportunity came about for Michelle to come full circle back into the creative world where she took on the role of Coordinator for Libraries, Arts and Culture in Roma, Queensland. Michelle’s current role as Regional Arts Officer for the South West of Queensland has brought her back to Toowoomba where she is based in the Empire Theatre.
