Meet Michelle!🌸

Meet Michelle! Michelle Scott-Reed works in our Human Resources department as the Benefits/Leave of Absence Manager and has been with Goodwill Columbus for 9 years this September! 

Michelle obtained her bachelor’s degree in business administration from Ohio Dominican University and began working in HR shortly after graduation. 

When her previous company outsourced her department, a former employee saw Michelle’s name on a temp website and requested that Goodwill bring her in to interview for a position that was soon to be vacated. The rest is history! Michelle’s career at Goodwill ignited when she was given the opportunity to create something that was important to her.

Wonderful work, Michelle!

Instead of planning the event for her, ADS staff encouraged Natasha to take charge. Working alongside her support staff, Val, Natasha dove headfirst into the logistics.
