Michelle Korenfeld

Michelle Korenfeld is a creativity researcher and developer of innovative pedagogical strategies that foster creative thinking and human potential. She is the author of the Amazon-published book Michelangelo in the 21st Century and holds an M.A. in Educational Leadership, Administration, and Policy, with a Dean’s Excellence distinction.

Her work explores the relationship among creativity, social-emotional development, entrepreneurship, and educational transformation. Michelle argues that many of the social-emotional and at-risk challenges students face stem from limited opportunities in traditional education systems to develop, express, and meaningfully apply creativity.

In response to the emerging realities of the AI era, her vision is to empower children and youth to become caring, creative, and adaptive problem-solvers who drive innovation, human flourishing, and societal well-being.

Michelle is also the artist who illustrates her own books to inspire creativity.
