Michelle Murrey

Michelle Murrey and her daughter, Mikaela, live in Colorado. They were introduced to the NOPBC and NFB at a youth event when Mikaela was just a year old. When the NFB Texas President, Norma Crosby, said she had high expectations for Mikaela, Michelle immediately felt like they had found a great community of support.

Michelle and Mikaela love going on adventures. Though Mikaela is only in kindergarten, she has already traveled to 12 states. Mikaela loves the journey as much as arriving at the destination. The NFB convention is one of the highlights of each year.

When Michelle is not advocating for Mikaela and other families, she works for an international non-profit called Mercy Ships. Michelle lived on the hospital ship in West Africa for two years and worked as a photographer before moving back to the USA to join the staff at the international headquarters. But Michelle hasn’t put away her passport forever. Michelle hopes to take Mikaela on her first international trip by Mikaela’s 10th birthday.
