Michelle Cooper

I am Michelle Cooper. I was born in St. Louis, Mo. I currently reside in Concord, NC with my husband and two children. I received two B.S. degrees from Oakwood University in Huntsville, Al and University of Alabama, Birmingham. I furthered my studies at Howard University where I received my Physician Assistant Degree.

My background as a Physician Assisant is primarily Emergency Medicine, as I practiced that for 12 years. I am now doing worker's comp injuries and rehabilitation. I teach Zumba after work and any spare time I can. I assist on the health ministries team at church as well as being involved in any community outreach programs involving health and fitness.

I am a very energetic individual with a positive spirit. I have a passion for exercise/health/fitness. I love doing Zumba but I love teaching it more. I am driven by my Zumba student's testimonies of how they have made lifestyle changes because of my teaching. I enjoy seeing them set goals and making them. I get very excited when my Zumba students tell me that their physicians/practitioners are pleased and amazed with their changes since starting Zumba.
