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.

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.
