Hello, my name is Michelle Parker and I’m thrilled to be the school nurse for Coal Mountain Elementary.  I’m excited for the opportunity to care for the students and staff on the mountain, and look forward to joining this amazing team.  I’ve been a registered nurse since 2006, with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Delaware.  I spent the first 10 years of my career at Christiana Care Hospital in Newark Delaware, working the first 5 years in the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU), followed by 5 years in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU).  In 2015 our family relocated to Heidelberg Germany with my husbands company, where we lived for almost 3 years before moving to to the US.  We spent the next 4 years in Southern California where I worked in both inpatient and out patient PACU settings.  In 2021, we decided to relocate to Cumming and honestly couldn’t be happier with that decision! I have two daughters, one who attends Coal Mountain Elementary and the other at North Forsyth Middle. In my free time I enjoy traveling and being outdoors, either gardening or out on the water with my family and our pup Cash.
