​In Let's Chat About Economics, Michelle uses engaging and creative real world examples and creates an easy to use framework for adults to introduce children to scarcity, supply and demand, opportunity costs and diminishing returns.  Let's Chat About Economics is aligned with school curricula across the nation. 

By incorporating her simple exercises into daily classroom work and family life, kids learn how to make good economic choices and enjoy the fruits of delayed gratification, earning money, and investing for the future.  

Michelle worked in communications for 15 years alongside technology engineers and investors, and her presentation is best suited for audiences which may include public, private or homeschool teachers, financial planners looking to educate families, and parents.
