Support my CookOff to feed people in need.

Michaela has always loved feeding people and solving problems and her work with OzHarvest brings these passions together.

As State Manager, Michaela leads OzHarvest Queensland across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Cairns, and Townsville, with 19 food rescue vehicles on the road delivering goodness. OzHarvest’s engagement and educational programs combine to ease food insecurity, increase community resilience, and protect our planet from harmful food waste.

Michaela believes that most problems can be solved with the right team, plan and budget, and delights in bringing together like-minded stakeholders to create solutions that deliver positive outcomes for today and for tomorrow. Equal parts enthusiastic and calm, Michaela revels in finding pragmatic solutions in the face of challenges.

When not at work, Michaela spends her time cooking, reading, renovating, and learning how to parent her loud, hungry, and very speedy 3 year old.
