She was born with Treacher Collins, which is a cranio-facial disease, that early on affected her ability to breathe and hear on her own.
In Michaela's early childhood, she mostly spent time with ongoing surgeries that led to breathing on her own without a trache.
This start to life has enabled her to be adaptive, persistent, and essentially grateful for the little things, such as the ability to breathe.
Although this does not define Michaela, she loves to challenge herself to push through expectations each day. Currently, she is expanding her ability to learn about others and speaking about her observations and experiences within the 'Special Ed' and 'Adaptive' groups while working alongside people who have disabilities.
This website brings together all of her projects and endeavors into one space; she plans to provide perspectives from varying groups that will lead to conversations and actions to become a more integrated community.
