  Michelle Molina has served as the Chief Executive Officer and Owner of PeacePartners since its inception in May of 2003. Prior to the creation of PeacePartners, she served as a teacher in grades 4-8 and administrator for the Paramount Unified School District in California for ten years. She has been a PeaceBuilder since 1994 and a PeaceBuilders trainer and curriculum developer since 1998.
Michelle earned her Bachelor’s degree in Radio/TV Communication from California State University, Fresno and is currently working on her Master’s degree in Education Management from the University of La Verne. Michelle is an active Long Beach community member serving on the Board of Directors for Long Beach BLAST (Better Learning After School Today) and as Treasurer for Cameo, an auxiliary to the Assistance League of Long Beach whose philanthropy also involves long term mentoring relationships.
Michelle loves working at PeacePartners because she is able to surround herself with talented people working for an incredible cause in a creative and positive environment.
Michelle loves reading a good book, enjoying food and travel, and watching films. In large contrast to her hobbies, she also enjoys adventurous activity: skiing, kayaking, hiking, and motorcycling—the faster the better! She is happy when she is surrounded by the people she loves: her husband, family, friends and colleagues. She is happiest when she is problem solving and supporting other people.
She loves the following quote because it helps to explain a non-traditional view of peace. It supports her belief that we need not fear conflict, confrontation, and chaos as long as we enter into them knowing our goal is a peaceful resolution. It is a great relief to people who suffer! |
“Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work.
It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”
