Recommendation from Sarah Balcazar at Reading Partners

Recommendation from Sarah Balcazar at Reading Partners

“Michelle has become my most trusted go-to resource for digital advertising strategy and support. She has both a deep knowledge of various advertising platforms (Meta, Google Ads, Microsoft, etc.) as well as a high level of experience working to meet nonprofit goals. Michelle is quick to understand the various needs and priorities of our national organization and implements campaigns efficiently and effectively. She goes above and beyond to execute campaign experiments and ideas while offering key insights and recommendations along the way.

“Over two separate family leave periods, Michelle has put me at ease leaving her to implement our paid media campaigns for volunteer recruitment, AmeriCorps recruitment, and fundraising. Each time, I’ve returned to detailed assessments of results, recommendations for future campaigns, and expansion/optimization of key campaigns.

“I highly recommend Michelle to any marketer in the nonprofit or education sectors looking for support with advertising initiatives.”

Recommendation from Rebecca Levy, Director of External Affairs at Palo Alto University

“Michelle has worked as a contractor for Palo Alto University’s External Affairs Department for four-plus years. She has been instrumental in managing the University’s multiple social media accounts and producing our monthly e-newsletter. She also has responsibility for writing stories and developing digital content. I couldn’t have asked for a more professional, conscientious and reliable partner! A strategist as well as a tactician, Michelle regularly contributes creative and insightful ideas, keeping our audiences in mind, while supporting our goals and making us shine. She is also incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and responsive on short notice. It is a privilege to have Michelle’s expertise in our corner! I would hire her again and highly recommend her!”

Recommendation from Matthew Purdy, Director of Career Services at Murray State University

Recommendation from Matthew Purdy, Director of Career Services at Murray State University

“I had the pleasure of working with Michelle at the beginning of my career at Murray State. Michelle welcomed me with open arms and had me hit the ground running with her office, hosting a meetup night for me to be able to meet and interact with several of our students. She was very easy to collaborate with on a multitude of initiatives, which made for a stronger university overall.

“On a personal note, Michelle was very easy to work with, outgoing, and realistically strategic. The level of student support from her office was both encouraging and inspiring to me as I started the process of (re)building my own operation on campus.”

Recommendation from Abby Hensley, Director of Development – Hutson School of Agriculture and Student Affairs at Murray State University

Recommendation from Abby Hensley, Director of Development – Hutson School of Agriculture and Student Affairs at Murray State University

“For six quick months, I had the honor of working along side Michelle to build the LGBT Programming Office prospect base. Michelle provided three different perspectives to the interim roll – past president of Alliance student group, Murray State University alumnae, and as a marketing professional. Together, we were able to establish a mailing list of nearly 500 names of individuals or organizations who have shown interest in or have supported the LGBT Programming Office at Murray State. The opportunity for growth became more real with Michelle’s help and understanding of how the world of Development and Student Affairs can work in harmony to reach success.”
