Michelle Yepez, CFRE
A Tampa Bay native, Michelle's love for nature developed during a childhood spent exploring Florida's springs, beaches, and scrubs. These early experiences instilled an enduring desire to protect Florida's precious water systems and natural spaces.
Michelle pursued dual degrees in Early Childhood Education and Eco-Tourism, combining her passion for teaching with her commitment to environmental stewardship. She volunteered extensively on habitat restoration projects before developing a career in Nonprofit Development and Special Event Production.
"Meeting people where they are and offering a space for them to do their thing with purpose."
Over the years, Michelle has produced notable events including the "Watermarks" Nature Photography Showcase featuring Carlton Ward Jr. and Jack Johnson's "All at Once" concert village. Her work consistently bridges the gap between meaningful causes and memorable experiences.
With MY Proper Event, Michelle brings her expertise in nonprofit development and special event production to organizations and individuals who want their events handled with care, precision, and purpose.
