She has worked with students in numerous capacities: as an instructor at Stanford University, a law professor at Chicago Kent College of Law and DePaul University Law School, and the Associate Dean of Students at the University of Chicago Law School.
Higher Education Advocates is a dream come true for Michele. Since its founding in 2011, she has worked with 500+ students, helping them achieve their highest potential and find the perfect college “fit” for them.
