About Michelle's Classroom

It is a joy to be at West Valley College and learn from all of you! In any classroom, my goal is that we intentionally create a passionate, transformative community--a space where every individual is fully seen, heard, and known. My hope is that by engaging and practicing communication theory, we can better understand ourselves, others, and make a meaningful impact in the world around us!
