LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF!
Hi. My name is Michelle.
Like all of us, I am a product of the systems that socialized my life from the very beginning. As a white, cisgender woman living in the United States, I’ve seen the patriarchy up close. I know just how toxic the subtle and overt messages can be in the lives of girls and women. And, as a global gender scholar with a PhD in women’s and gender studies and specializations in gender-based violence, militarism, girls studies and peace studies, I've spent lots of years investigating the ways patriarchy operates in the lives of women around the world. I've also witnessed powerful feminist disruptions to those systems.
Now that I’m a coach, I’m putting my theory of change into practice by coaching high achieving women who are ready to leave their mark on the world.
I help feminists shed the fear that results in imposter syndrome, procrastination, self-doubt and the paralysis of fitting into constraining gender norms. Together we'll make a plan to reach your goals while feeling calm and to experience liberation while dismantling patriarchy along the way. The possibilities for liberation are endless and it starts with one conversation.

"Michelle is the true embodiment of what I have always imagined an engaged scholar to be: Strong, approachable, a community-service driven feminist while appreciating diversities, someone with skills of discerning, seeking truth, and exploring intersectionalities in and outside of the U.S. She is motivating and motivated for transformations in women’s lives no matter where they are at or come from."
