MichelleHello, my name is Michelle, and I am the Sole Proprietor of andrea michael's personalized gift-baskets. I was born to a family of six children, and was raised in New Bedford and Dartmouth, Massachusetts. I am a proud parent of two children Michelle Andrea and Vaughn Michael. I was also blessed with a beautiful grandson Kadence Juleon.

Being brought up in a family that has taught me great values and to treat others with respect, it was made easy for me to interact with all types of people.

Holiday & Theme Gift-BasketsSomehow, going to college and working for many different attorneys really didn't please me. I was tired of seeing so many unhappy people that felt unnoticed and unappreciated. That is when I became a Mental Health Counselor. For years I assisted many people of diverse backgrounds. I also enjoyed working with our disadvantaged youth, but for some reason I still was not pleased. I felt that working under someone else's authority restricted me from working with people to my full potential. Counseling, conducting workshops, preventing suicides and keeping kids out of trouble was extremely rewarding, but I knew I had extra talents that I wanted to "un-bury". I decided to go back to my childhood treasure chest and dig out all of my talents and hobbies. I feel that my purpose on earth is to connect with people, because that is what I do best. I knew it was time to bring out my artistic side and combine that to me being a humanitarian.

Holiday & Theme Gift-BasketsCreating personalized gifts is the best thing I have ever done. It gives me the opportunity to show others just how important they really are. We live in a tough world, and we all need to be acknowledged. Since the age of twenty I have struggled as a single parent with a severe anxiety disorder, which enabled me to accomplish my dreams. I was also in a traumatic automobile accident which disabled me for over a year. I know what it is like to go through life's hardships. My experiences have always gave me hope to help others. Being a Christian has also helped me, because I have faith that I will succeed in growing my business. I want to continue to make a difference and be an inspiration in other people's lives so they can do the same for themselves. My gifts bring smiles, and there is no better feeling on earth to know that I will bring more.

I would like to thank my children, family and friends who have inspired me to run my own business, Corinn and Brian from the Community Economic Development Center for giving me the proper tools and advice to see me through, Melinda, from the Southeastern Massachusetts Regional SBDC for her guidance, Jacquie, from JS Web Solutions for creating the most beautiful web-site for me, and most of all I would like to thank Paula, my Business Consultant for taking me under her wing and giving me the confidence and wisdom that I needed to become successful. I am extremely grateful to you all.
