Formerly entrenched in the corporate world of business strategy, Michelle has found her true passion in art and community projects that spread happiness. With $500, she plans to elevate her Happy Alley project and collaborate with community members to ignite five new joy-filled initiatives across various locations. These funds will be used for starter materials, necessary permits, and hands-on support to help others realize their own creative visions. From a sensory pathway for kids with special needs to a mini Happy Alley at a school for orphaned children in Nepal, Michelle is inspiring people to shift from dreaming to doing. She believes in the power of shared joy and connection to transform everyday spaces into magical encounters.
