I worked with Michelle on one of her large events at AFAR Media to assist her pre-event and on-site. She was highly collaborative and great to work with. She provided great leadership to me as I was helping manage aspects of the event that she was overseeing. I hope that Michelle and I will be able to work together again soon and I can't recommend her enough for her event planning skills!
