Hi, I’m Michelle, the Founder of Ora* Consulting. 

After earning my B.A. in Rhetoric from the University of California, Berkeley, I started working as an Account Executive in Advertising for Patrón Tequila and California Avocados. From there, I pivoted into Tech and helped found a SaaS startup where I was the “Jane of All Trades,” with a focus on marketing and operations. During my time there, I led our team to win first place in the 2020 New Venture Seed Pitch Competition and received a $30K grand prize. Driven by the desire to be a part of the ever-changing cultural, professional, and academic landscapes, in 2022, I graduated from the University of Southern California with an M.S. in Integrated Business, Technology, and Design. Most recently, I was a Software Sales Account Executive for a few startups in the Supply Chain & Logistics space. 

After gathering a wealth of experience in advertising, marketing, sales, and operations, I decided to harness that knowledge to help businesses market, sell, and scale their operations.
