Michelle tells us how persistence with posing practice helps her gain confidence when she is on stage. She was told many times she didn\u2019t have the right look for NPC\/IFBB bikini, so she ended up competing in and turning pro in WBFF. But in doing so, she realized how much she loved the NPC and decided to prove everyone wrong and earn her IFBB pro card.  She decided to become certified in training and nutrition because she had so many people asking her for help after she started competing. She puts a lot of effort into each plan and individualizes it for each person\u2019s circumstances.
