Michelle has volunteered with various organizations both in the US and overseas since her time in college. Her background is in international business but she is also a certified Crossfit/fitness instructor part time. She was first introduced to equine therapy in Petaluma, CA at Giant Steps back in 2012 where she assisted with leading horses, side walking and general horse care for over 2 years. When she moved to Oregon, she ended up buying property of her own and purchased her first horse, Rush, a black quarter horse. Michelle is constantly striving to improve her riding and horsemanship along with giving back to the community and looks forward to assisting with the growth and expansion of Horses of Hope.
