About Me
I began my work in community building as a Peace Corps Volunteer in El Salvador. For over three years I worked with local communities to develop formal community groups and expand the reach of their tourism activities. Before working in El Salvador, I graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a B.S. In City and Regional Planning and spent time traveling in Europe and Australia. Upon my return from El Salvador I attended Brandeis University where I received my M.A. in Sustainable International Development. In addition to my work at the Foundation for Change I am on the board of OUT for Work supporting LGBTQ college students transitioning to the workplace. My husband and I stay busy raising our two boys to be conscious world citizens.

Hola Michele!

It was great seeing you at today's Change Maker event, and I very much look forward to working with you on Project Enlaces! I don't know what to expect, but that's half the fun, right?

I'll talk to you soon,
~Connery

Hey Michele! I would be happy to help, but I have to be somewhere at 1130am. We are having new member tryouts for my alternative dispute resolution team (negotiation, mediation competitions, etc). So I have to be at school from 1130-5? that day. Can I help set up in the morning from like 9-1115? When will you or others get there for set up?? I love law school but I look forward to when I have a main job and then more time for volunteering and other activities.

Hi Michele -
I received an email a couple days ago stating you had left a message for me on PROCambio--however, I have not seen anything. Just checking in to see what that might have been - cheers - coleen :)

Michele - Hi, thanks for asking! East County Magazine needs volunteers and student interns to help us with our new media outlet. We need people to help with research, writing, manning booths at street fairs, data entry, fundraising, and more. If you have even a few hours to help out, please e-mail me at editor@eastcountymagazine.org.

Hi Michele, thanks for your introduction. I wanted to reply to you, but I can't figure out how to do it on the discussion forum! Anyway, your story resonated with me--I also spent quite a few years at home with my two sons when they were little, and it is worth every second. We spent the summer of 1993 in Guatemala, a trip we will never forget--and now my boys are grown men. Nice to meet you!
