Michelle brings 27 years of experience in fostering compassion and connection, specializing in supporting children with diverse learning needs, complex medical conditions, and their families. Since 2013, IKCA has been integral to her family’s well-being, particularly following her daughter Madrona’s cancer diagnosis. Through this experience, Michelle has developed a deep understanding of the critical importance of support and community both during a pediatric oncology journey and as a bereaved family member. She feels blessed to be part of the IKCA team, contributing to the ongoing mission of supporting the health and wellness of island families navigating the challenges of childhood cancer.
