PSA: It’s pronounced Michelle-lean—not Michelin—but yes, I’m a star.
I’m a community builder, event producer, and occasional writer based in Brooklyn.
In this era of my life, I bring great people together physically and digitally. Sometimes that looks like founders and executives, and other times that has looked like creatives and community builders. I’m most passionate about world building, cultivating thoughtful conversations, spotlighting emerging talent, and supporting underrepresented communities (especially women as well as Black and Brown people). My zone of genius lies at the intersections of my voice, my curation, and my ability to hold space.
My career adventure so far spans across publishing, community-driven startups, and venture capital. These days I'm working and attempting to build my passion project Openspace, an IRL community space. Openspace is my long-term vision.
