Hi, I’m Michelle — the founder of Your Work Voice (and, let’s be real, the person who’s probably already guessed the kind of email that makes you roll your eyes before your boss even hits “send”).

I’ve spent 26 years in Human Resources, most of it in executive leadership in the hospitality industry. Translation? I’ve seen it all — from managers who think “team-building” means free pizza on Fridays, to employees who were disciplined for things that wouldn’t even hold up in kindergarten. Somewhere along the way, I realized HR was often protecting the company first… while employees were left feeling silenced, ignored, or worse — punished for speaking up.

So I built Your Work Voice to flip the script. My philosophy is simple: care for employees like customers, and everyone wins. Now, instead of being the HR gatekeeper, I’m on your side — helping you prepare for tough conversations, craft the perfect rebuttal, or just survive tomorrow’s meeting without losing your cool.

On the professional side:

• 26 years of HR leadership experience (I can decode policy jargon in my sleep).

• Special expertise in hospitality and high-stress workplaces.

• Skilled in conflict navigation, workplace strategy, and “what to actually say” when you’re in a tough spot.

On the personal side:

• I believe coffee is a food group.

• I live near the Florida coast, where I get daily inspiration from the outdoors, salty air, and talking with everyday hard working employees like YOU.

• I laugh at workplace memes like it’s my job — because sometimes humor is the only thing that gets us through.

Your workplace experience matters. Your dignity matters. And yes — you deserve to be heard.

That’s why I created Your Work Voice — to help you reclaim your confidence, protect your peace, and finally feel like someone’s got your back at work.
