Michelle currently works within the BOP Health Portfolio as the Operational Lead for Spring Northamptonshire and Thrive NEL. Spring and Thrive programmes are community-driven social prescribing support networks, commissioned to help people better manage their health and wellbeing. Michelle’s previous roles have also had a strong people focus, including working for the Citizens Advice Bureau and managing a large team of Advice and Support workers in North East Lincolnshire, where she is currently based.

Michelle is passionate about what matters to people: she believes that as many people as possible should have the opportunity to “live their best life” in a way that is meaningful to them. Michelle’s three daughters have now left home and continue to make her very proud! She is also an avid reader – can often be found with her nose in a book – and enjoys being creative in her spare time, with a particular love of interior design.
