A life long resident of Columbia County, Michaela graduated with an Associate of Arts degree from Columbia Greene Community College in 2018. She began her journey at Hawthorne Valley as a receiver and cashier for Rolling Grocer in 2019, and later joined the Farm Store team in 2021. After being a supervisor and assistant buyer, Michaela was promoted to the replenishment buyer in 2023. She currently purchases for the bakery, beer, bulk, frozen, and grocery departments. Additionally, she has created custom signage for many departments all over the store, including the specialty cheese island and frozen meat signs. In her spare time, Michaela enjoys reading, doing puzzles, and crocheting seasonal turtles, many of which can often be found for sale in the store!
