With college coursework in business marketing, Michelle understands how to communicate a mission effectively and build strategies that drive engagement. Michelle’s strengths also lie in her soft skills: empathy, emotional intelligence, and thrive in people-centered environments. Michelle truly enjoys building relationships, listening to stories, and helping others feel seen and supported.
