She received her bachelor\u2019s degree in Secondary English education from Hampton University. Additionally, Michelle earned a master\u2019s degree in Education- Curriculum and Design from Regent University as well as an Education Specialist degree from Virginia Tech. Michelle spent the entirety of the last 30 years in secondary instruction, teaching English grades 9, 11, and 12. She found it challenging and rewarding all at the same time. Michelle was fortunate to retire with 30 years of secondary instruction in June 2022 and feels so grateful to be returning to her Home by the Sea, Hampton University in the role of Academic Coordinator for Educational Talent Search. Once a Pirate, always a Pirate!<\/p><p class=\"04xlpa\">When not working, \u00a0Michelle enjoys spending quality time with family and friends. She\u2019s always up for a walk with friends along the boardwalk or in the neighborhood with her fur baby, Milo. Michelle has a 21-year-old son who is currently a fourth year college student, so there\u2019s always a road trip at some point in the fall to take in a football game and enjoy catching up with him. Michelle also enjoys reading and discovering new vegan spots in the greater Hampton Roads area.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dc8ef20 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dc8ef20\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d2a6e43\" data-id=\"d2a6e43\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fd3df5b\" data-id=\"fd3df5b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9b688f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f9b688f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">High School Academic Advisor (Kecoughtan High, Phoebus High)<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ddd1e89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ddd1e89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hamptonu.edu\/ets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/08\/20220818163215-14417-jon_echols_coat_flick-200x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-355\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hamptonu.edu\/ets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/08\/20220818163215-14417-jon_echols_coat_flick-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/home.hamptonu.edu\/ets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/08\/20220818163215-14417-jon_echols_coat_flick-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/home.hamptonu.edu\/ets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/08\/20220818163215-14417-jon_echols_coat_flick-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/home.hamptonu.edu\/ets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/08\/20220818163215-14417-jon_echols_coat_flick-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/home.hamptonu.edu\/ets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/08\/20220818163215-14417-jon_echols_coat_flick-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/home.hamptonu.edu\/ets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/08\/20220818163215-14417-jon_echols_coat_flick.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fed13b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fed13b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Jonathan Echols<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"04xlpa\">Echols as he is called, is a native of Hampton and graduated from Hampton High School.
