Persona 2 Michelle Chen
Michelle is a 36 year old mother of two children ages nine and four. She has a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science from North Carolina State University. She works as an occupational therapist at a local practice. She has been married for 11 years and her and her husband have a combined annual income of around $110,000. They live in the suburbs of Charlotte, North Carolina.
She has been an avid runner and has done yoga most of her adult life, but has found it difficult to find the time to exercise as much anymore while having a full time job and splitting the care of two children. The only available time for her to exercise is early in the morning before work and before her children need to get ready for school.
Her husband tends to exercise either during his lunch break but Michelle's working hours prevent her from doing this. Most of her friends don't live close to her either so she does not have an exercise partner for the mornings when she wants to go for a run or do yoga.
As a physical therapist, Michelle knows that personal health is very important and does not want to lose her own health while being so busy with her career and family. She is looking for a better way to get in a routine of getting up early and exercising so she can meet her fitness goals. She also wants a better way of holding herself accountable to meeting these fitness goals.
