Michelle has served on our Board of Directors since 2022. She has lived in the Hills with her husband for 19 years, raised 2 children, and cared for an elderly mother on Vista Lane.  Her Vista Lane community and the Burlingame Hills at large are exceptional and have provided her family with a life experience that cannot be taken for granted. 

 

Prior to reducing her focus on work, Michelle owned and managed a wholesale automotive parts warehouse in San Francisco, the third generation to take over the family business.   Over the years she has served on many automotive industry group boards as well as the parent boards of her children’s school.

     

Traveling, gardening, learning languages, and spending time with family and friends are her current pursuits.

 

Being an empty nester and having a reduced work schedule, she is able to dedicate time to pursuits that were not possible before, such as joining the BHIA Board.    Simply, it is time for her to give back and join the community of volunteers that are actively fostering the health and well-being of our great neighborhood.
