Michelle is a skilled and experienced professional executive assistant with a wealth of administrative expertise gained over many years in the workforce. After spending a significant portion of her career running her own successful business in racehorse breeding and management, Michelle decided to re-enter the mainstream workforce in 2021. Her transition brought with it a deep understanding of the importance of organisation, attention to detail, and strategic support.
For the past three years, Michelle has worked in the public service, where she further honed her skills in a diverse and dynamic environment. Her experiences there have equipped her with a comprehensive understanding of government operations, stakeholder engagement, and the intricacies of supporting senior leadership.
Michelle is excited and committed to supporting Gayaa Dhuwi’s vision and contributing to meaningful initiatives that enhance the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities through successful social and emotional wellbeing, mental health and suicide prevention outcomes.
