Michelina Trustman

Michelina joined the WBC board in 2022 and is an active member of the Resource Development Committee. She also heads Girl Scout outreach for the company's performances of The Nutcracker at Lehman Center for the Performing Arts.

Michelina is a former small business owner and currently works for the Chappaqua School District. She is also an active volunteer at Westchester Medical Center in its Little Hearts program, a project run by pediatric cardiologists, surgeons, and patients to introduce kids with congenital heart disease to other patients—both children and adults—with similar medical conditions.

Michelina is passionate about WBC and what the experience of being part of professionally-produced productions can mean to the development of a child's sense of purpose and competency. She seeks to raise the visibility of WBC in the local community and engage in fundraising efforts to solidify the financial health of the company.

Michelina is a Bronx native. She currently lives in Ossining with her daughter Adriana, who dances with the ballet company.
