Michelle Chin

Michelle is a UX designer, advocate, mentor, and environmental justice activist. Her day job involves serving the design community through knowledge sharing, building bridges, and identifying community needs. She leads the DEI committee at zeroheight and career coaches underrepresented communities in tech. When she learned about the stark gender gap in Wikipedia content, she jumped into action and hosted a few edit-a-thons around Women in Tech. She loves the idea of editing articles, but remembers how difficult and intimidating it was. So she also aimed to demystify the process and introduce new people to the world of editing while helping improve coverage in Wikipedia. Additionally, Michelle works to provide tree equity in Oakland, California. Profile photo: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Michelle_Chin_Headshot.jpg
