Who is behind the scenes?
Michelle Renee CEO & LEAD Videographer
Michelle's Favorite VERB: EVOLVE! Michelle was a single mom working in the banking industry when a violent home invasion kidnapping involving her and her daughter, ultimately being a bank robbery plot, ended her 13 year career in Corporate Banking. After recovering from the trauma, Michelle pursued her degree in Communication studies and launched VERB Media Group in 2009 after reconnecting with her passion being behind the camera. Watching Bridges of Maddison County years before had sparked a passion for creativity & storytelling through a lens. Today VERB is a thriving boutique video & podcast production, and social media management, agency focused on compelling visual content for events, travel, lifestyle and personal brands.

Breea Renee
Executive Assistant
Breea's Favorite Verb: LOVE! Breea graduated with her BS degree in Psychology from SDSU and is also an Alpha Phi Alumni. But getting to college wasn't easy for this determined go-getter. At 18 she collapsed and became totally blind and paralyzed on the left side of her body due to a catastrophic onset of Tumefactive MS. She fought through the many challenges physically, socially and emotionally and never gave up on her educational goals. Her training as an athlete and competitive cheerleader gave her the drive and work ethic she needed to continue to thrive and after 3 years with TD Ameritrade, she was ready to join VERB and support Michelle, our CEO and Breea's mom, to help grow the company, the culture and our mission, vision and values. Today she is an MS awareness advocate and World MS Day Ambassador.
