Michelle Yee continues to be a geek, a late-bloomer, and a contented introvert. After graduating with Honors in Linguistics at Stanford University in the previous millennium, Michelle completed her doctorate in education in 2014 at the University of San Francisco
with an emphasis on international human rights education. Her dissertation focused upon the lived experiences of women with hidden disabilities. As a pediatric speech-language pathologist, Michelle has worked in early intervention and pre-school programs - in both

Her latest personal project has been working through her Bucket List; items on this growing list have included exploring equine-facilitated therapy to assist children
with disabilities and developing a meditation practice to prepare for a month-long solo meditation retreat.
