Thriving Non-Profits

Michelle is a compassionate leader, social impact strategist and communications specialist. She has spent the last 20 years working with non-profit organizations and volunteering internationally. Combining her background in business and entrepreneurship, non-profit management and intercultural relations, she has specifically focused on supporting socially innovative teams in growing and achieving beyond their goals.

She has the unique ability to build deep relations among stakeholders with diverse interests, including business, government, community and NGOs, and has recently run a number of large scale purpose-driven campaigns. Her most recent work focused on reconciliation, joining the leadership team at Reconciliation Canada to deliver the Walk for Reconciliation, in both Vancouver and Ottawa, bringing together over 150,000 people from all backgrounds.

Michelle is a trained coach through the Coach Training Institute and most recently completed the Evaluation for Social Change program at Simon Fraser University, as part of her determination to create positive social and systemic change.

She is grateful to be living and raising her family on the traditional, unceded territory of the Lekwungen-speaking people. In her spare time, you can find her hiking or skiing with her family, selling photography prints from her travels, and walking her very large Bernedoodle.
