Michelle Liu Coughlin

A Connecticut native, Michelle Liu Coughlin was born in Plainfield to Mei (waitress/high stakes blackjack dealer) and Arthur Coughlin (homebuilder/contractor). She is the youngest of two children. Acting and music were her passions from a very young age, and at the Norwich Free Academy, she took part in a variety of performance opportunities. Having played basketball, soccer, and softball as a child, Michelle grew up to be an avid sports fan. After playing basketball for 10 years, she dreamed of playing point guard for the UConn Huskies but instead decided to pursue a career in the arts. Prior to moving to New York, she received her degree in acting, music, and dance at Shenandoah Conservatory. With a passion for skin care and a former position at The Estee Lauder Companies, Michelle loves to talk about the products she loves. Wearing sunscreen every day is something she strongly advocates. As well as collaborating on projects with her artist collective, Michelle enjoys dancing, spending time with her family and friends, and traveling with her husband.
