About Michelle

I’ve done the agency hustle, clocked the hours, and carried the caseloads—and let me tell you, I didn’t come this far just to stay tired and underpaid. I took my skills, my values, and everything I knew deep in my bones, and I flipped it into a business that finally works for me—not the other way around.

Now? I’m showing other social workers how to do the same. Because we didn’t get all this wisdom and heart just to burn out—we came to build, baby.

Hey love, I’m Michelle—a social worker, entrepreneur, and educator who’s been in the trenches. I know what it feels like to be overworked, underpaid, and trapped in a system that takes and takes but rarely pours back in. That’s why I created the Social Work Entrepreneur Academy—because listen, we didn’t go into this field just to be buried under paperwork and paid in peanuts. We deserve freedom, purpose, and real coin—not just passion projects and burnout. I’m here to help you get all of it. Let’s build the life and business you were really called to.

Our Vision

At the Social Work Entrepreneur Academy, we’re done with the days of being overworked, underpaid, and overlooked. Nope—not on our watch..

We see a world where social workers are running things—leading with purpose, innovating with power, and thriving without apology.

We believe in a future where social workers are out here building sustainable, value-driven businesses that reflect who they really are. Where lived experience and hard-earned expertise are not just respected—they’re center stage and changing the game.

Through real education, real community, and tools that actually work, we’re building a movement. A movement of entrepreneurial social workers who are financially secure, creatively lit up, and boldly transforming systems while serving their people—on their own terms.

Because we’re not just here to play the game. We came to rewrite the rules.
