Lord Jesus, we thank You that you have put such a heart of love and of service to people in MLA: MIchelle Mungall that she has accomplished much in a short time span. She could have served in many other places but You called her to the legislature of our wonderful province and we are grateful that she has taken on that role. May You also give her vision and keen insights into her role as opposition critic for Advanced Education, Youth and Labour Market Development. Strengthen all of her relationships especially that of her and her partner, Zak. Keep them both in prosperity and good health. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. At the age of 31 years-old, Michelle became the first woman elected as MLA in Nelson-Creston. Seven years earlier, in 2002, she set another record as the youngest person ever elected to Nelson City Council.
Michelle serves as opposition critic for Advanced Education, Youth and Labour Market Development.
Her university studies and her career in community development eventually brought her to Zambia, where she worked to better the lives of girls with HIV/AIDS. Michelle served as Nelson City Councillor (2002-2005); Community Coordinator, Nelson Committee on Homelessness; National Programs Assistant, YWCA Zambia; and managed the Nelson food security and micro-finance non-profit organizations.
Michelle holds a BA (Honours) in Political Science from University of Alberta and a MA in Human Security and Peacebuilding from Royal Roads University.
She was the 2008 Recipient of the National Social Sciences Humanities Research Council Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship and is bilingual in English and French.
