Marine Wildlife Documentary Film Maker, Underwater Photographer - Michele changed careers in 1991 (after a 2-decade nursing career) and began devoting herself to the field of marine wildlife documentary filmmaking. While she enjoys taking still photos, she’s focused her efforts on producing films for television and theatrical release, and is now perhaps best known for her underwater IMAX films. Some of her films have been recognized with awards at wildlife film festivals. It’s important to Michele to make family-friendly films that raise awareness of and increase appreciation for the marine environment. She’s been told more than once over the years that her films have inspired people to turn their career choices toward marine sciences and / or environmental issues.
