Michelle Skow

Michelle is a project management specialist primarily supporting our river engineering and environmental teams in the Pacific Northwest. She says she likes to think of herself as a team captain who rallies her team to provide the best work and client service they can.

Reading and editing reports and proposals tops Michelle’s list of favorite work activities. Her bachelor’s degree in writing makes this task a natural fit for her. She reflects, “Grammar is probably my favorite aspect of writing. It’s the fundamental building block upon which all great writing is built. You may have a lot to say, but if you have poor grammar skills, your message quickly gets lost.”

Michelle values GeoEngineers’ culture: “GeoEngineers fosters collaboration at every level; our opinions are welcomed and elicited. I am not stifled by a linear job description; instead I have an active role in deciding how to shape my career in ways that are beneficial both to my growth and success and the company’s.”

In her free time, Michelle enjoys cooking, spending time with her family, studying genealogy, reading, writing and couponing.
