Tiffany Michelle is record-breaking Professional Poker Player, WSOP gold ring winner, Amazing Racer, TV presenter and a female pioneer in the poker industry – both as a player and broadcast journalist.
At age 22, Tiffany was the first female on-camera presenter ever hired to the world’s largest poker news site (PokerNews). Just two years later she went from working on the sidelines to sitting at the table, playing for $9 million dollars on poker’s biggest stage – at the World Series of Poker Main Event televised on ESPN. Out of 6,844 players she was the Last Woman Standing, finishing 17th for a payday of $334,534 and breaking the record for the largest field conquered by a woman in live poker.
The feat made Tiffany one of the most recognized and sought-after female players in the game, landing her on the Top 10 Most Fascinating People in Poker, poker’s Top 10 All-Time Female Money Earners (Under 30), and on MAXIM Magazine's Top 20 Hottest Celebrity Poker Players.
In 2009, Tiffany defied the odds, once again, when she competed for $1,000,000 as the only all-female team on the Emmy Award winning 15th season of The Amazing Race on CBS, alongside her best friend and fellow female poker pro, Maria Ho.
Other notable television appearances include competing on Team Bobby Flay on Food Network’s Worst Cooks in America, co-hosting CBS Sports’ Poker Night Live, competing on GSN’s World Series of Blackjack, and a series regular role on the Emmy Nominated online soap opera series, DeVanity.
From being homeschooled her entire education, to being voted Miss Teenage California 'Miss Congeniality', to founding her college’s Speech & Debate Team, to breaking records in poker and eventually winning a WSOP gold ring… Tiffany has no shortage of fascinating and inspiring tales plus motivational lessons learned from the poker table.
In addition to poker coaching, her keynote topics include: decision-making, winning mindset, problem-solve like a poker pro, bluff your way to success, overcoming life’s bad beats, outthinking the competition, high stakes/small ego, play your relationship like a game of poker, succeeding in a man's world
