On the day she graduated with her nursing degree she was also commissioned and became an officer in the United States Air Force. Over the next five years, she obtained her flight nurse wings and traveled around the U.S.,  becoming a seasoned nurse working on medical, surgical, and intensive care units, while also training newly admitted nurses that entered the Air Force.

In 2001, she graduated with her Master’s degree in Nursing and became a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner.

She has also been a clinical professor at George Mason University in their undergraduate nursing program.

Now approaching the final stages of her nursing career, Michelle’s dream to open her own business has come to fruition as she. Brichelle Med Spa was launched at the beginning of 2024. Michelle has completed extensive training from the highly reputable and accredited Cassie Lane Injectables Edu course to provide botulin injections, with eventual certification in derma fillers and weight loss.

Her core mission is to enhance each client’s own beauty by helping to soften the effects of aging, while providing treatments in a safe and comfortable environment. Her goal is to have client’s feel refreshed and rejuvenated while avoiding a “treated” look that signals “work” has been done. In the end, her hope is that her client’s leave their treatments feeling more confidently and beautiful.
