Michele Kellrooney

Michele Kellrooney was born in Akron, Ohio. She graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City and worked in dinner theaters, summer stock, and touring theaters. After marrying and moving to Chicago, Ms Kellrooney was employed as education coordinator at libraries, nature centers, science museums and returned to school for education. She earned a B.S. and M.Ed. and taught in the Nashville Public Schools until her next relocation—this time to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Three moves and three teaching positions later, she was accepted into the Inspired Leadership Initiative. This time of transformation led to service in Kolongo, Uganda and Sitka, Alaska. She is now teaching in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
