Meet the Team: Michelle Church

Every month, our enthusiastic team of editors, writers, graphic designers, and advertising specialists work behind the scenes to create each issue of GreeneScene Community Magazine. This passionate team is dedicated to creating a fascinating, optimistic, and relevant magazine that our readers love. Over the next year, we’ll be introducing you to our team, member by member, so that you can get to know the devoted crew that brings you the GreeneScene. 

This month, we’d like to introduce you to one of our contributors, Michelle Church.  

Michelle loves reading, animals, and cooking. She writes book reviews of every single book she reads on Netgalley and Goodreads. She gets early copies of upcoming books from The Book Club Cookbook, GalleyMatch and The First Editions. 

  She has checked the following off her bucket list: seeing British singer Robbie Williams in concert, meeting Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins, and seeing Jerry Seinfeld do stand-up in person.

  Michelle has lived in Carmichaels most of her life. She attended All Saints School until high school and is a graduate of Waynesburg University with a Pre-Law major and Social Science minor. She spent a few years in Maryland and Virginia (DC area) after marrying the love of her life. Since moving back home, she’s enjoyed the local Greene County events more than ever.

  Michelle lives with her husband Lee and their beloved “Church cats.”  She loves to find new recipes to cook and photograph. Her family and friends tell her she should write a cookbook.
