Michelle McGrath

As a public relations professional, bestselling cookbook author, home cook, fine artist and vocal musician, Michelle McGrath is passionate about her "life as art" approach to business, the kitchen and creative adventures. She founded McGrath PR in 2010, a niche public relations company, forging innovative marketing solutions through traditional, digital and social platforms for the arts and entertainment, culture, food, non-profit and small business sectors. In 2020, she embraced her first adventure as an author, and published "The Creative Table - Inspired Recipes that Nourish, Gather and Unite" cookbook, which soared to a bestseller just 10 days after its debut. In 2021, she expanded her career, appointed as Managing Director of South Shore Children's Chorus, the region's multi-campus choral music resource for students in grades K-12. She is a devoted arts advocate, collaborating with, founding and serving on several Massachusetts cultural councils and arts institution boards and committees. Michelle often serves as a public speaker, delivering lectures on public relations, social media, embracive marketing, audience growth and digital book publishing. Her appointment as arts and entertainment correspondent was a founding facet of PACTV's PCN Community News, the premiere regional television news program south of Boston. Dovetailing her love of cooking into her career, she has enjoyed creating inventive menus and chairing numerous social event series for regional non-profit organizations. Having raised three beloved children in the metro-Boston area, she is now settled in the South Shore's coastal community, at home in sight of the Atlantic ocean, the source of many images adorning her cookbook.
