For the last ten years she has been a midwifery academic at the University of the Sunshine Coast where she has lead a Masters of Midwifery program 2007- 2015. More recently Michelle has coordinated the Bachelor of Midwifery program which commenced in February, 2017.
Michelle has a particular interest in midwifery regulation, registration, and standards of midwifery practice and education. This is evident in her professional engagement activities which include her professional engagement activities with the Australian College of Midwives (ACM) as Council representative for Queensland, Chair and committee member for ACM Queensland Branch; and reviewer for Elsevier articles and books.

Her findings have been published in Australian and International peer-reviewed journals, and she has completed many conference presentations on her findings.
