Meet Michele!


Today was the first day of class for new GTA instructor Michele Thorne, and a new group of Oakland youth.

Michele joined GTA in January and spent the last month shadowing and absorbing the GTA curriculum as well as adding her own great insights and ideas. Michele comes to GTA after earning her MBA in Sustainable Management from the Presidio Graduate School in San Francisco. Her professional background is in marketing and design, and she brings to GTA extensive experience in community education on health and food issues.
