Profile
Michelle founded Lady Green Recycling with a goal to protect the environment and help people and businesses through waste reduction in our communities. Coming from an entrepreneurial family, Michelle always knew she would one day start her own business doing something she is passionate about.
Michelle brings 21 years of management experience, including 13 years of executive management working with top business leaders. Prior to founding Lady Green, Michelle was part of a successful start-up company that is now a leader in the U.S. for deploying greenhouse gas reduction projects. Michelle received a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration from Jones College in 2007 and later pursued her Master’s in Environmental Studies at Florida International University. During her first year in graduate school, Michelle found much inspiration from her professors, peers and education, that she felt it was time to launch her recycling dream. She decided to drop out of graduate school and fully invest her time and resources into creating her vision. Understanding the real value in education, she continued to ‘sit’ in classes to learn the material without having to pay the cost of tuition.
Michelle serves as Board Member of Dream in Green, a non-profit organization focused on promoting energy and water conservation and environmental sustainability in South Florida.
In her free time, Michelle enjoys spending time with her family, friends and pets as well as training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Michelle’s currently a purple belt who enjoys competing and holds a World Championship title.
