About Me

Michelle Pinchev is currently an e-Marketing Specialist with Career Edge Organization, a not-for-profit that provides internship opportunities for educated and qualified job-seekers who face barriers to employment. Having studied psychology and communications, Michelle has sought career opportunities that combine these two passions. Her work experience – including journalism, staffing, project coordination, event planning and marketing – has given her a unique set of skills and knowledge in the areas of employment, human rights, communications and social media. Michelle holds a BA from Wilfrid Laurier University.
