President,
BZMind
Michelle makes ethics impossible to ignore and inspiring to act on.
A dynamic speaker, educator, and ethics champion, her career spans public accounting, award-winning postsecondary teaching, and national leadership within the CPA profession. A Fellow of the Chartered Professional Accountants and former president of CGA Ontario, she is known for turning ethics from a compliance checkbox into a compelling call to action.
Her sessions challenge audiences to think clearly in moments that matter. With thoughtful frameworks and real-world case studies, she shows how ethical reasoning builds trust, safeguards reputation, and drives better decision-making under pressure.
An award-winning educator, she has taught accounting and ethics at both the university and college level, earning honours including the prestigious Lorna Henderson Mentorship Award from CGA Ontario. She is also the founder of BZMind, a Canadian professional development company offering online courses and live training in ethics and Canadian tax.
A member of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers, she has delivered keynotes for CPA Ontario, Financial Executives International, and regulators across Canada. Known for her clarity, warmth, and humour, she leaves audiences not just informed, but motivated and ready to ask better questions, build stronger relationships, and lead with integrity when it matters most.
