I'm Michele. Born in small-town Georgia, I grew up outside — ripping a Honda Z50 through the woods, lifeguarding summers, and spending Sundays fishing. And biking, always biking. Today I'm a Creative Director and outdoor storyteller, and this is Overland Girl.
At 40, alopecia areata took hold; instead of sidelining me, it pushed me toward endurance cycling. I've raced gravel and MTB, and when the snow hits, I'm chasing laps in Utah, Colorado, and the Midwest. Whether I'm designing for brands, pedaling back roads, or filming from the van, the throughline is the same: practical, honest stories from the trail.
That’s me. Michele.
Founder of Overland Girl.
At Overland Girl, I want to make the outdoors accessible and less intimidating for weekend adventurers. Follow along on my trips and use what I've learned to prepare for your own — favorite tips, tricks, spots, and gear, all tested firsthand.
