“The WordPress community genuinely attracts some of the most thoughtful, kind and intelligent people I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and Michelle is no exception. If you have the pleasure of working with Michelle you’ll quickly realize why some people brand her as ‘Wonder Woman’! Michelle’s depth of knowledge and pool of connections within the WordPress space is exceptional. That being said, I think her biggest asset is her heart of gold and willingness to help others which is evident in her ever growing portfolio of work and contributions.”

โ€œThe world is a very big place, and we are each but one person in over seven billion, and that can make us feel small and insignificant. I challenge you to look within your own circles and see how significant you truly are, because as you make an impact in those circles, they will ripple out beyond where you can see, affecting people you may never know, leaving your mark on the world.โ€
~Michelle, in her acceptance speech for the 2016 Up and Coming Business Woman of the Year Award from Rochester Womenโ€™s Network
