Michelle Gabriel started her career by working as an Elementary Coach in West Hills for 8 years. While working she obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Athletic Training/Sports Medicine. Following that degree Michelle worked as a Permanent Substitute Teacher and Head Athletic Trainer at a High School in Downey. During these years working, she obtained her Teaching Credential in Physical Education and also received her Masters in Education. Michelle then switched schools and became the Physical Education Department Chair at a Magnet High School in Glendale until her and her husband Gav decided to start a family. Michelle then stepped away from teaching to raise her sons, Angelo (4) and Niko (2). Kids In Motion was formed by inspiration from her son's teachers, school directors and the passion she has always shared for kids. Michelle uses all her strengths and knowledge to help students learn all while having fun.
