Michelle began her work as the Community Relations Director for the Two Rivers YMCA in 2024. She works to ensure a smooth flow of communication between our CEO, board volunteers and the general public. Her role has heavy focus on relationship cultivation and coordination of our fundraising efforts.
Michelle earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Western Illinois University in 2003. Her professional roots began in Muscatine with Family Resources, Inc and then in 2012 she purchased a large salon and began a decade long adventure as a small business and commercial property owner. As her life transitioned to the Quad Cities, she sold her business and began working for another non-profit as a strategic partnership specialist before finding this great opportunity with Two Rivers. Michelle feels passionately about supporting local businesses, fostering community engagement and giving back. She enjoys being a QC Chamber Ambassador and is a proud member of Power of 100+ Women in the QCA.
Two Rivers YMCA has been an important part of her and her family’s lives for many years. When she is not at the Y for either work or play, she is cheering on her 3 kids in their many activities. Michelle also loves to cook and enjoys staying active by golfing, biking, hiking and traveling with her husband.
She would love to meet you, so feel free to pop in the administration office and say Hello!
