Michelle moved to the San Francisco Bay Area from Pittsburgh, PA to join the New Wave Foods Team. As a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University with a BS in Materials Science & Engineering and a MS in Biomedical Engineering, she was intrigued by the idea to create an alternative and better seafood product that is as delicious as the real thing.

Michelle previously worked at the research and innovation department at L’Oreal and is passionate about using science and technology to make the world a better place. She is an avid dancer and enjoys morning runs by the ocean.
