Michelle is the founder of i.am.me ADHD, an educational organisation based in Adelaide dedicated to ADHD awareness and education. With over 30 years of teaching experience, Michelle is not only a seasoned educator but also a parent of children with ADHD and has ADHD herself. She established i.am.me to educate teachers, parents, and students about ADHD at a time when diagnoses are becoming increasingly common, yet the stigma surrounding ADHD remains significant. Michelle is deeply passionate about discussing ADHD and believes that fostering self-advocacy can transform how students perceive themselves and their education, as well as how teachers can support students with ADHD.
