Communications Coordinator
Michelle is an alumni of care herself. She has since independently pursued higher education and completed a BA in Women Studies at Concordia University, as well as is in the final steps of completing her second BA in Interdisciplinary Sexuality Studies. With this knowledge, she hopes to make a difference, to work with youth, educate them, offer support and guidance - some things that many of those in care lack.

In addition to this, she is a proud fur-mom to a five month old French Bulldog, she loves to cook, travel, and try new things.
