Michelle Holmes

My name is Michelle Holmes. I began coaching with NaviGo in the Fall of 2024. I currently own/operate an interior painting company and was in the temporary staffing/contract industry for over 25 years prior to that.

I was drawn to become a NaviGo coach stemming from my passion to help students figure out what they want to pursue when they graduate from high school. I watched my own children and their friends struggle to decide and wanted to make it less daunting for others.

Currently, I am coaching the Skilled Trades NaviGo Scholars group. In my past staffing experience we struggled to find qualified workers in the skilled trades industry. I am a big proponent of educating students to the rewarding careers in skilled trades, the benefits of steady employment and making a good salary in this type of work.

When I am not working, coaching or volunteering, I love to be outdoors. You will find me hiking, kayaking, skiing and camping.
