She began paddling at age six at the Abenaki Aquatic Club in Dartmouth, NS, Canada. (cbc.ca, 29 Jun 2015)

Her mother took part in the sport in her youth, and signed Michelle and her siblings up for lessons as a way to get some outdoor exercise. "I was actually a year too young to start paddling properly, but the club I was at had small numbers in registration so they just pushed me up and no one said anything."

Her grandmother. (olympic.ca, 10 Aug 2014)
