Michelle grew up in Denver, Colorado.  Not long after graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder, she moved to New York City where she worked at a hedge fund before attending law school.  Her law career has taken her to NYC, Denver and Chicago, but as of 2018 she now calls Iowa home. Michelle enjoys the family-centric lifestyle Iowa provides, and appreciates its atmosphere of kindness. She is also enjoying the wonderful biking in Iowa. In her free time, Michelle likes to practice yoga, cook (mostly organic) and run.

Michelle’s background is in corporate and international taxation and her current practice focuses on estate planning, probate/trust administration and elder law. She practices out of the Bettendorf office of Pearson Bollman Law.  She is licensed in Iowa and New York.
