Michelle is a connector of connectors.

Her expertise in international trade and manufacturing off shore is vast. She has many trusted suppliers in China and is able to manage simple to complicated projects because of her knowledge of U.S. Customs regulations, foreign payments, etc.

In addition to connecting her clients to the right supplier, she enjoys helping people succeed and sharing her connections in every area of business.

I highly recommend Michelle and her work to anyone who is interested in building a relationship with a highly motivated, energetic, interested-in-others professional.

Michelle is truly remarkable. I met her at a recent NAWBO conference in my home city of Phoenix this month. She is energetic, full of ideas and possibilities and already a full blown success story. You can tell when you meet her that she will handle anything that comes her way.

I would add that she was most helpful to me personally think through some strategic decisions for my international consulting business in Mexico and Latin America. Thanks Michelle.
