Michelle Patin, is originally from Sonoma County and has lived here in Healdsburg for the majority of her life. Michelle, attended Fresno State University where she earned her BA in Liberal Arts with a focus on Child Development. Michelle‘s heart has always been in Sonoma County. That’s why she decided to return after college so she can give back to the community by teaching. This coming school year will be Michelle‘s third year teaching, and she is extremely excited to be part of the 3rd grade team.

In her spare time, Michelle is either at the horse barn riding and tending to her horses, out on a hike with her dog peaches or chasing a sunset on a tropical island or national park.
