VALCOURT MICHAELLE

TRECINCO

Tell everyone who you are and what you do.

My name is Michaelle (Mi-Ka-El or Michelle) Valcourt was born and raised in Miami Florida. Mrs. Valcourt obtained her nursing degree in 2018. Her passion for helping others at such a young age, pushed her to become a nurse. I’m happily married with 4 handsome boys. I’m a sports mom. I am first a believer in Christ. I am a nurse and nursepreneur.

I’ve been a nurse for a little over 4years. I have experience in mental health/psych, Acute rehab, and med surg/tele Neuro. I love and am passionate about helping others. I’m the happiest to see others happy!

I am a nursepreneur who owns a medical scrubwear. The scrubwear is called Classy Acute Med Wear. I integrated fashion into the healthcare industry.

How would you define your purpose?

Great question! Defining my purpose! Hmmm, I think I haven’t found out what my purpose is, I’m still asking God for guidance. But I believe and strongly believe, my purpose here on earth is to encourage women and speak life to them. After my mom and mother-in-law passing in June 2020, it was like a bulb came on. I was comfortable. And that pain birthed my purpose. Navigating through the deaths, pushing through completing my BSN, taking care of kids, etc. Having the word of God, encouraged me a lot and working out.

What motivated you to get into nursing?

I love helping people. As a little girl, I always loved helping people. I would give rides to the elderly and help put groceries in people’s car. I always wanted to be in women’s health, but that didn’t work out. I found a new love for mental health.

Where do you see yourself in the next 3 years?

For the next 3 years, I see myself hosting webinars, encouraging/ empowering women to be a better version of themselves. Being booked internationally and speaking on my books.

Let’s talk about your scrub wear company and how it got started. Classy Acute Medwear was founded to motivate all essential workers who work endlessly and effortlessly to provide excellent care to our patients. The meaning behind our brand name is one who is an achiever and gives their all to achieve them even when faced with obstacles. Our brand stands on the belief that first impression is everything when serving our patients. What inspired Michaelle to create the Classy Acute Med Wear business was issues finding the perfect scrub that caters to the urban population with a hint of style. Classy Acute Med Wear will cater to and serve both essential workers and patients in a fashionable way. Her vision is to have essential workers to be in style and take care of patients. When you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, you perform at an all-time high and my mom was a seamstress growing up, and I’m into fashion.

What are some of the programs you offer with your marketing company?

Currently, my marketing company is at a halt, but planning to revamp, and rebrand that baby. Today, marketing is key to unlocking unlimited potential and opportunities.

Tell us one fun fact about yourself.

Fun fact about myself, I like to explore. I would be that friend to go zip lining, jet skiing, parasailing, sky diving, lol (just to sum it up, travel).

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Ouuu, Paris, France. I had family who lived in France, and when they would come to the US and speak French, it was like how is this language so different, but yet fascinating? And I missed my opportunity to go as a little gilt because, I didn’t know the family like that, like that. So, the missed opportunity, always stuck with me as a little girl, that one day I will visit. On top of that, seeing pictures, and videos, I saw while growing up made me want to go there. And might I add, they are known for their and fashion! The beret hat is my ultimate favorite with the plaid set. Oui oui.

Are you working on any new projects or upcoming events?

Yes, I have some projects I’m about to tackle on those it is out of my comfort zone. Completely out of the norm, but Holy Spirit confirmed it for me twice this year within a short time frame. Follow me on my journey. I don’t want to spill the beans just yet. But trust me, it will be worth it.

What keeps you motivated to not give up?

The reason, I push and go hard the way I do is after the passing of both my mother and mother-in-law, June 2020. I can’t even explain, it was like clarity and purpose was birthed. I’ve been planning a business but never pursued it. They are my motivation alongside my husband and boys.

Any impact you have on the community?

Every year: we host an annual back- toschool drive. We partner up or sponsor other events such as turkey drives, toy drives and any event we can help out with to make a difference in the community. My motto: The more you put out, the more you will receive. It brings me great joy to see others happy. This year will make it 10 years hosting our own annual backto- school drive.
