Michael began his career as a Native English Teacher working in South Korea for four years. He worked in team-teaching environments and on his own to conduct enriching and immersive English classes and camps for elementary school students and teachers.

As part of this role, Michael developed his communications and education skills and gained a more nuanced global understanding.
Following his return to the United States, Michael took a role at Shedd Aquarium. He quickly progressed from serving as a greeter in the Shedd’s main foyer and selling tickets to joining the main switchboard team and developing a process to collect data on incoming inquiries.
