Michelle Schumann. With over eighteen years of diverse experience spanning project and program management, as well as teaching roles, I bring a wealth of expertise to the table. My journey includes obtaining certifications such as PMP in April 2016 and CSM in June 2017, alongside academic achievements like a Master of Science in Management and Leadership, complemented by a Bachelor of Science in Business Management & Administration.
Since 2013, I've been actively involved with the Project Management Institute - Northern Utah Chapter, dedicating over a decade to serving on the Board of Directors. Currently, I hold the position of VP of Finance, leveraging my skills to contribute meaningfully to the organization's success.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I'm fortunate to have the unwavering support of my loving husband, son, and daughter-in-law, as well as the companionship of two lively dogs, Apollo (Siberian Husky) and Athena (German Shepherd).
In my downtime, I relish the opportunity to explore the great outdoors, particularly indulging in off-roading adventures in my Jeep. Traveling also holds a special place in my heart, allowing me to immerse myself in new cultures and experiences.
