Michelle Kaplan is a freelance writer and regular contributor to the Palm Beach Post. As well, she blogs weekly for PBG Lifestyle Magazine. Kaplan has also contributed to several publications including the Sun-Sentinel, the Syracuse New Times, and the Local Buzz. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, she is a graduate of Northeastern University where she majored in Journalism and bar hopping. She is a huge Boston Red Sox fan so she truly understands broken dreams; heartache and how to “just ignore” people who wear New York Yankee hats instead of verbally abusing them. When she’s not chauffeuring around her two children, Emily and Joshua, she enjoys thinking of ways to make hunting bank CEOs an official, legal sport. Most of all she loves spending time with her husband and soul mate, Michael who is, sadly, a New York Yankee fan. Writing everything from community news to hard-hitting investigative pieces, Kaplan has a special knack for writing personal profiles and has interviewed such celebrities as Howie Mandel, Kathleen Madigan, Bo Diddley, Dick Smothers, Charo, Lindsey Buckingham and Robby Takac of the Goo Goo Dolls, just to name a few. Kaplan, offers a fresh, perhaps skewed perspective on the everyday.
