Currently serving as the Director of Human                                             Resources for Sellenriek Construction, she is breaking                                               glass ceilings, challenging the status quo, and proving                                               herself to be an integral part of a formerly all-male team.

 

                                        Civic Service: The only thing that overshadows Michelle’s                                              successful career in business, is the multitude of                                                            leadership positions she holds within the community she                                            has called home for nearly 40 years.  As the Mayor of                                                    Wright City, the only female member of a county                                                            Leadership team,  Board member of the Fire District,                                                    Executive Board member of the Wright City Band Boosters                                          and founder of her own non-profit, she has been able to                                              act as the adhesive that helps bring all the different                                                      organizations she represents to the table in local                                                          government.  She is a champion of bringing many voices to                                          the table to collectively reach a goal that will best                                                          represent and move the entire community forward.

Business:

I was a stay-at-home mom from 2001-2007 for my older children before going to work at Brake Resources and Braking Technologies as an Administrative Assistant. I was with them until the day they closed the doors doing inventory control, HR, Accounts Rec/Pay, day-to-day data entry, etc. Then again from 2010-to 2013, I stayed home with Liam. In 2013 I went to work part-time at St Louis Cancer Care as a receptionist. I currently work part-time at 519 On S Main in St Charles.

 

Hobbies:

I love my Irish heritage. My ancestors have been traced back to Robert the Bruce. John and I have traveled to a few countries such as Mexico and the Bahamas. The trip I look most forward to is Ireland and finding some of the family castles.

​

Interior design, decorating, and painting are my go-to hobbies. I love to find "ugly" pieces and give them new life. My dad taught me how to paint at 8 years old and since then, I have painted and or decorated for many friends and family.

​

I enjoy being outside, playing with the kids, dinner on the deck and cutting the grass. I don't mind getting my hands dirty planting flowers or even changing my own oil.
