There are a million+ out there, but you are the only one in a million+ that’s like you. 

Hi, I’m Michael

🙋🏻‍♀️ …

I’m a firm believer that business gets done when people have fun and that diversity is innovation. I am a multi-hyphenate professional (a.k.a. a Swiss Army Knife or Jack/Jill of all trades) with the unusual ability to pull song lyrics and random movie quotes into everyday conversation. I have an addiction to learning that manifests itself through buying online courses and basically every book that’s recommended to me.

Stand-up paddle boarding is my jam, and my dog Lux has taken a liking to being my hood ornament riding shotgun on the nose of the board on our paddling adventures. I collect words. I break things down, so I can figure out how they work. I’ve been told one of my superpowers is explaining things in a way that “makes sense.” I like to work with my hands to create and construct. I create bridges of communication and I am passionate about diversity, of people, and of thought. I fundamentally believe that we ARE better, and DO better together. And to put that belief into action I started an organization dedicated to professional inclusion, FWD.

By profession, I’ve found the best way to describe what I do is an ‘Experience Design Strategist’. My work focuses on marrying marketing, business development, operations, and in real-life and online experiences/events to create a positive impact for a company’s relationship with their audience and customers.

My work and projects are about finding and building meaningful connection between my heart, my mind, and my bottom line.

I’m on a daily mission to find my flow and work to focus on peace, prioritization, and being present in my life.
