About Michelle G.
As a Policy + Advocacy Coordinator at SO Health-E, I have over eight years of experience in leading and supporting initiatives that address health disparities and promote wellness focused on BIPOC people, LGBTQIA2S+ folks, people living with a disability, and low income families who have been historically left out of decision making and access to resources due to systemic oppression.My core competencies include project management, grant writing, communications, coalition building, and workshop facilitation. I am passionate about collaborating with diverse stakeholders, developing creative solutions, and advancing the mission and vision of SO Health-E. I have also served as the Chairperson of the Talent Planning Commission, where I applied my skills and knowledge in community planning and policy making. I co-founded and directed The Rogue Action Center, a grassroots organization that empowers and mobilizes community members to create positive social change.
