With fifteen years of experience in environmental education, Michelle has built strong relationships within the local environmental community and gained extensive firsthand knowledge.

She is formally trained as a biologist, having studied at both MacEwan University and the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) where she also has won the Spirit of NAIT Alumni Award. She is also recognized as an Environmental Professional (EP(R)) specializing in education and training, through ECO Canada. Michelle has been a key contributor to four teams recognized with Alberta's Emerald Award, celebrating significant achievements in environmental stewardship and public engagement across the province.
