Yes, I'm an Insurance Geek!
Michelle began her insurance career in 1999 and became an agent/agency owner of Waterman-Neely Insurance Professionals in 2003.

She has been involved with numerous organizations over the years donating time to the community volunteering with youth soccer as a coach and registrar, girl scout troops, Chatham Chamber of Commerce Sweetcorn Festival and Homecoming ticket sales, and is very active with her church, South Side Christian Church.
