After completing a Bachelor’s of Social Work and Undergraduate Certificate in LGBT Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a Master’s of Science in College Student Personnel Administration from Western Illinois University, Michael has worked in housing for almost a decade.

Outside of work, you can find Michael hanging out with their senior pup, playing video games, watching anime/movies, playing TTRPGs, watching live-play series, reading, crafting, listening to their growing vinyl collection, and trying new restaurants in the area. They are a bit of a coffee addict and will always join you for a trip to a local coffee shop!
