About Michelle
Hi, I'm Michelle! I'm an Austin-based narrative audio producer, theatre artist, and adjunct professor in applied theatre at Texas State University.
My storytelling, editing, and collaborative skills are enhanced by over 25 years performing and teaching theatre, improv comedy, and music.
I've produced audio stories for NPR affiliate KUT Austin, PRX Remix, Texas State University, and Fusebox Festival. My audio stories have aired on the podcasts 51%, Neighbors, and Make Every Media.
I'm a graduate of StoryCenter's Online Certificate in Digital Storytelling program and hold an MFA in Drama & Theatre for Youth & Communities from UT Austin.
