Hi there! I'm Michelle (aka "Bug Hugger"), a self-proclaimed eduentopreneur – educator, entomologist (My Bug Story - Facebook) and marketer (Shel-Shok - Facebook) with a big green heart (Green Matter - Facebook) and a bionic ear (Deaf Be Not Proud - Facebook). Not only am I addicted to Macs, the Internet and chocolate, I have an insatiable appetite for cultural immersion and global ecology that I feed through adventures off the beaten path and on my drag racing motorcycle (I <3 Indians) I have studied in Costa Rica, Belize, Guyana... and soon, Thailand.
Through presentations and workshops, I share intricate facets of my many passions and knowledge with insightful, motivational and humorous talks... with a twist. I have the unique ability to weave into my talks, meaningful and useful lessons using bugs as a frame of reference like no one else. Topics vary widely and are customized for any audience or event. Sample talks include:
- Team-building – "All you need to know about team-building you can learn from ants."
- Bullying – "The good, the bad and the bugly"
- Relationships – "Lepidopterous views on life, love and lust"
- Diversity Management– "I see your true bug colors calling through"
- College Life – "Social butterfly: mud puddling through college"
- Sustainability – "Healthy meat alternative: Bugs in your teeth"
