Michelle Leland
After-Care Manager
I am so happy to call myself part of the Phoenix family! I am Michelle Leland, para and aftercare coordinator. My husband and I have lived in North Branch for the past 14 years, which I have spent raising 3 wonderful boys, ages 12, 14, and 20. We have spent 6 1/2 of those years living on a small hobby farm where we have our own cows, chickens and a rescue dog named Sonny. Included in the chaos of our farm, is a large garden, which I like to can and preserve our own food. When I am not running around like a chicken with my head cut off (punny haha), I love spending time with my 6 nieces and 1 nephew, visiting my parents or visiting my hometown in northern MN. I am so blessed to get to interact with all the amazing children here at Phoenix Academy and especially the ones I get more one-on one time with in Aftercare. They have brought out the child in me and I adore each and everyone of them!
