Description
About Michelle:
Prior to the last eight years at ConxusNEO, she spent almost 20 years in higher education, leading initiatives related to the recruitment and retention of students, serving in leadership roles in admissions, financial aid, career counseling and academic advising. She provides a unique perspective to workforce development – drawing from her experience working with employers to understand their talent needs and challenges to working in education to develop a competent and skilled talent pipeline.
Michelle earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and Bible from Kentucky Christian College, a Master of Science in Higher Education degree from The University of Akron, and a Master of Education in Cultural Foundations at Kent State University, where she studied the marginalization and inequalities in education through the lenses of sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and history that informed historical and current issues, policies and practices that need to be addressed in order to improve the educational system.
