Michelle Davis, Intake Coordinator and Boarding School Specialist
Michelle is the Intake Coordinator at Educational Connections Washington. She has been a member of the Washington team for over eight years and provides compassionate, thorough and prompt support to each family. Years after Kristin placed her then 14 year old son in a therapeutic wilderness program and therapeutic boarding school for his struggles with anxiety, Michelle was driven to support other families through similar healing, therapeutic and life-changing experiences. Her son’s treatment was life changing for him and the whole family, and being in a role where she can share that hope with other struggling families is what brought her to Educational Connections.
In her role, Michelle talks to parents who are just beginning to consider this journey for their own struggling children and helps them understand and begin the process. She assists in interviewing adults who know the child in order to gain more insight into the student prior to placement.
In addition to being our Intake Coordinator, Michelle is also our Boarding School Specialist, assisting families looking for a more traditional boarding school, or families whose children have completed treatment and are looking for a soft landing outside of the home. After visiting schools in the Northeast, and holding over 100 Zoom sessions with schools, she continues to research schools and make visits to find the right school for our students.
After graduation with a B.A. in Public Relations in her home state of Ohio, Michelle lived in Texas, Toronto, Florida and Washington - with stints ranging from marketing for an organ donation non-profit, to selling Microsoft tech-support to corpoate customers.
Michelle and her husband Scott are empty nesters living a life of adventure in Bend, Oregon and traveling to Chicago and NYC to see her young adult kids.

“I feel a bit of hope for the first time in a while. Hiring EC was the right thing to do and I’m grateful for their help.”
