Throughout her lifelong career in education and NGOs, Michelle has focused on placing the learner at the centre – giving them responsibility and autonomy for their own learning journey, and honouring their life experiences. It’s an approach that resonates with everyone at The Learning Wave, which is why we’re so pleased to have her on our team.

Michelle has worked in many different sectors of the community, in a teaching, coaching and training capacity. She has designed and run workshops, created a ‘Co-Design’ coaching business, worked inside schools as a wellness coach, and taught literacy and numeracy skills to young people outside mainstream education. The common thread to her career is a commitment to helping learners gain the confidence to believe in their own potential – and start to realise it.

If your project calls for a combination of empathy, organisation and solid mentoring skills, Michelle will help you get the outcomes you require. Working one-on-one or with groups and workshops, she will create a warm, safe and culturally welcoming environment. 

“In my role as a coach I facilitate using questioning, problem solving, creative thinking and interactive activities to enhance a belief that learning is lifelong, it’s fun and it’s achievable.”
