As an athlete, Michèle grew up paddling and surfing the South African coastline. This led to an international career first in sanoe sprint, then in flat water marathon and surfski. Her achievements include making an Olympic final, winning a medal at the Canoe Marathon World Championships, winning the Surfski World Championships, as well as many international surfski races. She has also won many river races, including the famous Berg, Drak, Fish and Sella races.
She transitioned to coaching over a decade ago, and has come full circle by becoming the Team USA Coach at the Rio Olympics.
Her almost three decades of paddling experience makes her a valuable resource in the community where she loves to help others reach their full potential.
