Michelle Estrada

My life passion has always been to make a difference in the life of someone else's life through my own unfortunate life events. Therefore, I feel it is my purpose in this life for me to share my experiences and talents with those in my community through establishing a non-profit that is dedicated to making a difference. I want to be a part of a nationwide effort in transforming the lives and hope of individuals like myself. It is my hope that with my volunteer contious efforts/contributions, academic studies, and work experience intertwined, I can lead many towards a bright future through my own efforts in dedicating my own career path towards a non-profit organization that will make a nationwide impact to lighten the burdens of others.

My passion for wanting to help others began from a young age. I was heavily abused physically, sexually, and emotionally throughout my entire life, varying in degrees of severity. Being a survivor of childhood sexual assault, abuse, neglect, trauma, physical and mental illness as well as struggling to raise 3 children alone, the passion to make a difference for those in my current and past situations in gaining that independance needed to stop the cycle of abuse and poverty.

Throughout my career, my roles included administrative, international marketing, recruiting & managing volunteers, managing project teams and working with executive level members of management for Fortune 100 companies. I am currently serving as a volunteer for Racine County.
