About Michelle


Michelle helps businesses, nonprofits and leaders own — and amplify — their stories. She’s led Fortune 50 content teams, strategy and storytelling through times of growth and high-stakes challenges and change, strengthened culture and trust for the nation’s largest rural healthcare system post-merger and coached hundreds of emerging professionals to find their voice and confidence. With every step, she uses the power of storytelling to connect people to purpose and drive results.

At Mile 27, Michelle turns proactive, data-driven storytelling into a strategic advantage. She helps clients clarify goals, align leaders, energize teams, engage stakeholders and communicate with intention to shape and safeguard their reputation, strengthen relationships and tell their story on their terms.

Michelle and her family live just outside Minneapolis, where her kids teach daily mini masterclasses on patience, resilience, humility, humanity and ultimately, what matters most.
