Michelle is widely known for being the "Last Woman Standing" at the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event (televised on ESPN), and for competing as the only all-female team on the Emmy Award winning 15th season of The Amazing Race. She was also a series regular on season 4 of the Emmy nominated online soap opera series DeVanity, portraying villainess Scarlett Kane.
Born and raised in Los Angeles County, California, Michelle received formal training as an actress and worked extensively as an on-camera host before she gained fame at the 2008 World Series of Poker. She was the last female player left, in a field of 6,844 players, at the WSOP Championship Event. 17th-place finish broke the record for the largest field ever conquered by a female in live poker tournament history and earned her a payday of $334,534. She was later named one of the Top 10 Most Fascinating People in Poker of 2008.
In 2009, Michelle was invited to compete on the 15th season of the CBS competition reality show, The Amazing Race.
