Prior to moving to Kodiak, she led the formation of the Bay-Friendly Landscaping and Gardening Coalition, a regional nonprofit that advocates for eco-friendly urban landscape practices through education and policy change in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

In addition to her professional experience, Michelle holds a B.S. from Indiana University in Natural Resource Management and a Master’s in Organizational Leadership from the University of Denver.
