Michelle Merkle

Highly creative, efficient and sharp pastry professional who is ready to challenge any task at hand. I am always one to push myself hard and strive for perfection, yet I have fun and learn from any project I'm doing. The one thing I excel in is the ability to improvise, troubleshoot and take the initiative to "make things happen".
