Hi! I’m Michelle, and
I approve this intro.
The Work Stuff
With deep experience in the wonderfully chaotic world of advertising and comms, I’m all about teaming up with great people to make great work for great clients (yes, I like a theme).
I blend sharp strategy, relentless creativity, and a leadership style that keeps teams inspired, locked in, and moving. Whether pitching, writing, or building full-on campaigns, I aim to shift behaviors, drive results, and maybe snag a trophy or two along the way.

More Work Stuff
When I’m not wrangling ideas, I help shape the next generation of communications leaders as a Board Member for Purdue University’s School of Communications — mentoring emerging talent and influencing how tomorrow’s creatives are educated.
I’ve also dabbled in improv, because “Yes, and…” isn’t just a motto — it’s my excuse for big ideas and worse puns.
Outside Of Work Stuff
I stay sharp by traveling (and confidently botching foreign phrases), obsessing over sports, and maintaining a few irrational personal rules — chief among them, always finish a book unless it earns its way in the trash.
Off-hours are split between reality TV chaos, juggling multiple books at once, and negotiating with our German Shepherd about who's actually in charge. And then there’s golf: my love-hate pastime that leans heavily toward hate after a double bogey—but I keep going.
I chase challenges, especially the ones that stretch limits. Let’s go after what's next!
