“Michelle is a unique blend of change-driving operator and safe brave space facilitator. She’s made us feel seen and validated in our lived experiences. She’s empowered us to find our voices and given us a place to come where our voices, concerns and ideas are both listened to and also acted upon within the organization at Spring Health.”
