Michelle Hostetler has been a prevention scientist for 30 years, with a focus on family relationships and parenting. Some of Michelle’s key projects are Family Foundations, Siblings are Special and Promoting Healthy Development in Early Head Start. She initially began her career in prevention research because she has always believed that preventing problems is more effective than solving ones already developed.

Michelle’s favorite part about the Center is the opportunity to collaborate with so many compassionate, talented people while working to improve the lives of children and families. Michelle received both her master’s and Ph.D. degrees from Penn State in Human Development and Family Studies. As a Penn State alumna, Michelle is an avid football fan, and enjoys watching both the Penn State team and the Steelers during football season.
