Michelle Morici

Michelle is originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She earned her degree in education from UW–Milwaukee in 2012 and immediately began her international teaching career in Chile, where she lived and worked for nine years. In 2021, she made another across the Pacific to Malaysia, where she continues to live and teach. Michelle currently teaches English Language and Literature across the IGCSE, IBDP, and MYP programs and serves as the Head of the Language A Faculty. Her team includes teachers of English, Chinese, and Bahasa Melayu language and literature. Michelle is passionate about international education and looks forward to continuing her work in this field for many years to come.

Within the MSPE program, I’m particularly looking forward to the instructional coaching component, as I’m curious to explore whether it might be a direction I’d like to pursue in the future. I also hope to strengthen my leadership skills, especially in supporting and mentoring other educators. Finally, what excites me most about the MSPE program is the opportunity to not only apply what I learn directly to my own teaching, but also to challenge those ideas and discuss the outcomes with my cohort.
