Michelle Dumas

Occupation: Public Relations

Description/Bio:Michelle was born in North Brunswick, NJ, the middle of three daughters. She was raised in a Jewish home that was vague in religion and strong in stereotype. She attended Penn State University, graduating with a degree in Communications. She immediately moved to and started working in New York. She also headed directly into a relationship with a musician, Neil. After dating for six months, they lived together for two years before Neil left. This happened at the same time that Jess broke up with Karl, which has created — at least for Michelle — a bond made of cement mixed with super-glue.

Michelle is an abyss of need, most of which is centered on Neil. Although no longer a couple, Michelle manages to call Neil daily for any and all issues. Broken watch? Hey, Neil can fix it. Movie review? Neil probably saw that movie, let’s ask him. Michelle is also, though, a very dear friend who will go out of her way to make sure that those for whom she cares most are happy and healthy.
