Meet Coach Michelle

Michelle’s journey in competitive golf began in the tenth grade under the mentorship of Coach TJ. This foundational period sparked a career that led her to the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo and subsequently to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV).

It was in Las Vegas that Michelle dived deep into the PGA Golf Management program, learning the ins and outs of the industry with a focus on helping players grow. Michelle always had a power game and loves working with junior/juniors and new players.

Since returning home to Vancouver, she has become a familiar face at the University Golf Club. Always looking to level up for her students, Michelle is a GTS Certified Coach currently working toward her LPGA certification.
