Michelle Guski

Michelle Guski has more than 13 years of experience in the nonprofit and healthcare sectors, with a background in fundraising, communications, and corporate partnerships. Most recently, she served as Director of Development at Breakthrough Atlanta, where she led fundraising and communications to advance educational equity for under-resourced students.

Previously, Michelle spent 8 years at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, managing corporate partnerships, workplace giving, and volunteer engagement initiatives that strengthened community relationships and philanthropic investment. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from the University of Georgia and began her studies at the University of North Georgia.

Mission-driven and relationship-oriented, Michelle is passionate about the craft of meaningful persuasion—the intersection of storytelling, connection, and rigor that drives effective fundraising and communications. She lives in Atlanta with her husband, their nearly two-year-old son, and two beloved pets, and enjoys cooking (while wondering how anyone finds time for much more).
