Her background includes designing and managing multiple projects to develop sustainable, efficient waste management systems that optimize operations, create safer work environments, reduce methane emissions, capture waste materials for beneficial reuse, and protect the environment.
Michelle says, ”After a lot of research and meeting with different firms, I knew SCS was the right place for me. I knew they were an industry leader with a deep breadth of technical expertise, but it is their focus on client service and employee welfare that drew me in.”
SWANA (the Solid Waste Association of North America) honored Michelle with the 2025 prestigious Professional Achievement Award for her work directing engineering efforts on complex and diverse solid waste projects, landfill expansions, coal combustion residuals, transfer station designs, master planning, and operations assessments.
