As a former agency publicist, Michelle's career has always centered on one thing: helping organizations find their voice and use it well. With more than a decade of experience in public relations, brand strategy, and communications across both sides of the Atlantic, she has built a career turning complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives — and advocating for the brands and people behind them at every stage.

After years leading campaigns and communications at agencies including Clarity, N6A, and CultureSpeed, and for brands like Mirriad, Owl Labs, Fetch Rewards, Morpheus Space and Amex Ventures, Michelle took her expertise independent, drawn by the same instinct that shaped her agency career: the desire to bring real clarity to the organizations that need it most. Her background spans B2B and B2C tech, finance, hospitality, consumer lifestyle, and nonprofit sectors, giving her a sharp eye for positioning, messaging, and the kind of thoughtful strategy that helps teams stay aligned as they grow. Having worked closely with C-suite leaders across fast-paced environments, she understands what it takes to keep executives focused, informed, and well-represented, while anticipating needs, managing competing priorities, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Today, Michelle channels that same passion for connection and storytelling into her broader work, including TESOL education and curating meaningful travel experiences as a Fora travel advisor. At the heart of it all is a simple belief: when communication is clear, inclusive, and intentional, it has the power to move both organizations and people forward.
