Building capacity
in people
& systems.

Corporate Impact

Michele's career has been defined by a single through-line: helping organizations build the systems and capabilities that make ambitious goals achievable. From enterprise learning platforms at Microsoft to global sales enablement at Honeywell and commercial effectiveness at Thermo Fisher Scientific, she has consistently translated strategy into programs that reach people at scale. Her work spans more than 40 countries and has generated measurable outcomes in workforce readiness, leadership pipeline health, and business performance.

Public & Community Service

Michele's commitment to capacity building extends beyond the corporate sector. Her public and community experience includes service with Liberia's Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection; the Mecklenburg County Women's Advisory Board; the Mecklenburg County Democratic Party; and the Liberian Community Association of Greater Charlotte. She has supported community engagement initiatives for women, children, immigrants, and refugee families and has worked alongside government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and international development partners.

A Guiding Question

Across these experiences, she has remained interested in a central question: how do institutions equip people—particularly women—to understand their choices, exercise their agency, and shape the decisions that affect their lives?

Neni Institute

That question guides her work through Neni Institute, an education and research platform advancing women's agency through civic knowledge, practical learning, and public engagement. Drawing on her experience in workforce strategy, learning design, policy implementation, and measurement, Michele develops accessible programs and insights that help women move from information to meaningful action.

Education & Research

Michele holds a Master of Public Administration from Wake Forest University, where her research focused on workforce development & program implementation, and a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication from the University of Liberia. She is also a Certified Learning and Development Professional. Her applied graduate work included designing a workforce initiative addressing barriers affecting immigrant and limited-English-proficient workers and presenting recommendations directly to Cobb County workforce leadership.

Roots & Purpose

The daughter of two educators and a mother raising the next generation, Michele understands education as both a tool and a responsibility. Her life and work have taken her across borders, sectors, and communities, but her purpose remains consistent: building stronger systems, expanding access to knowledge, and helping people recognize and use the power they already possess.
