Our Team

Michaele Strauch | Executive Communications Coordinator 

Michaele joined the TOG team in 2015 as Jeanne’s assistant, aiding the founder in all things day-to-day and behind-the-scenes. She also quickly stepped into developing the company’s web presence, events coordination, and marketing.

A recent graduate from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Michaele has a Bachelors of Science in Environmental Communications with a focus on sustainable food systems. Having interned at a Champaign urban farm, taught at a local nature center, and organized for her college’s environmental student action group, she was eager to apply her passion for environmental engagement to the “good food” movement. An excellent vegetarian cook and baker, Michaele also often provides the eats for our team gatherings.
