Meet our Team: Michelle

Every month, our enthusiastic team of editors, writers, graphic designers, and advertising specialists work behind the scenes to create each issue of GreeneScene Community Magazine. This passionate team is dedicated to creating a fascinating, optimistic, and relevant magazine that our readers love. Over the next year, we’ll be introducing you to our team, member by member, so that you can get to know the devoted crew that brings you the GreeneScene.

This month, we’d like to introduce you to our advertising specialist, Michelle Frye. Michelle is a Greene County native, residing in Carmichaels.

Michelle graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Waynesburg University, majoring in advertising and public relations with minors in marketing and theatre. During her time at Waynesburg University, she worked at Markowitz Communications in Pittsburgh, providing marketing communication services for notable clients such as Cirque du Soleil, Simon Malls, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, and Urban Pathways.

Michelle joined the GreeneScene in January 2019 and has been making connections within the community during that time. In addition to her work on the GreeneScene, she’s also assisted a local event with public relations and is involved in community events in the area. “Being a Greene County resident has helped me make an impact on the magazine because I know the area and its businesses,” Michelle says. “I love the community in Greene County and supporting the endeavors people are making to create an even better place to live.”

Michelle loves the theater and continues to work with Waynesburg University’s theater department with their productions. She believes that her extensive theater background makes it easier to work with the public and build strong working relationships.
