Hi! I'm Michelle Parker, this is my second year on The Roar staff. I’m very excited to see what this year brings us. I have three dogs whom I love and photograph to no end. I enjoy writing, photography, graphic design, and baking. Journalism is a passion of mine which I am happy to be able to share with the world.
