Hi Everyone.  My name is Michelle and I was born and raised in Long Island, New York.  I attended St. Mary’s High School in Manhasset, NY where I was the Captain of the Girls Varsity Soccer team for 2 years.  I then went on to attend Marist College (Go Red Foxes!) and graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in ‘98. From there, I moved to San Francisco, CA during the dot.com boom (super fun and exciting times) and moved to New York City a few years later.  In NYC, I worked for a publicly traded company Bankrate (NYSE:RATE)  and was the Executive Assistant for the President/CEO as well as several Corporate Senior Vice Presidents.  In this role, I provided critical support to the team, especially around Board of Directors meetings, public investors calls & stock analyst related matters.  I was employed at Bankrate (NYSE:RATE) for 16 years when they were bought in 2018 and that’s when I joined the Mad Dog team and haven’t looked back since.  I love the feeling of family at Mad Dog – whether it’s our actual families and players or the internal family we have created amongst employees.  It truly is a home away from home for me and I can’t wait to see all the things we accomplish together in years to come.
