Michelle became the Senior Project Manager for Project Toqlukuti’k in January 2024, bringing a wealth of experience and a passion for innovation to ABO Energy Canada. In her previous role as Innovation Lead for the Net Zero Project at Energy NL, she made significant contributions by identifying strategies to lower Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in Newfoundland and Labrador’s offshore petroleum industry. Her forward-thinking approach included exploring the potential of offshore wind for electrification, as well as advancing carbon capture and storage, and carbon offset solutions.
Michelle’s journey in the energy sector began as a geophysicist with BP Canada Energy Corporation in Calgary, where she contributed to key exploration and development projects across Western Canada. In 2010, driven by a desire to make an impact in her home province of Newfoundland and Labrador, she joined Suncor Energy in St. John’s. There, she quickly rose through the ranks from geophysicist to Manager of Geoscience for Terra Nova, and later became the Director of Geology and Geophysics for Global Exploration and Production.
As a distinguished graduate of Memorial University, Michelle earned both her B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Earth Sciences. Her commitment to excellence in her field is further demonstrated by her designation as a registered P.Geo. She is also a dedicated leader in her professional community, serving as a Board Director (Elect) for the Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Newfoundland and Labrador, and contributing her expertise as a member of the NL Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Advisory Council.
