About
Puzzle lover. Writer. Blogger. Nerd. Feminist. Film/Music/Pop Culture Enthusiast. Gamer. Creative Thinker. V-Lookup Fan. Camper. Harry Potter Historian. Hello, there! I'm Michelle, and problem-solving is in my DNA. I used to be a nightside police reporter. I would chase down crime stories, and interview police officers and witnesses. Then I would write the story in my head, and dictate it to someone back at the office, so we could get it written up and sent to the printers to squeeze it into the next day's paper. The job was grueling, and taught me a lot about stamina and thinking quickly on your feet. A few years and a few jobs later, I still rely on the lessons I learned from that first job out of college. A bit about me: I thrive on problem-solving and efficiency projects. I love building out world class cross-functional teams, and utilizing my resources to achieve deliverables. I have several years of experience in managing people, process and policy. Because I have worked in various fields in different support functions, I have had the unique opportunity to work with a lot off different softwares and databases. I have worked with various ERP systems and data management software, and have utilized Jira, Smartsheets, Asana, Microsoft Project, and Trello. I can build pivot tables with the best of them, and have been teaching myself SQL to get even better at analyzing data--I figured, what better way to project manage than to learn what the data is telling me and build a strategy off my learnings. If you want to chat about Project Management, organize a D&D group, or argue the merits of the various Hogwarts Houses, I am your gal. Drop me a line on LinkedIn.
