Michelle Plaisted
Intern
Michelle Plaisted, a current senior at Glen Ridge High School, has a passion for environmental science and sustainability. Based in New Jersey, Michelle originally researched in her local community with invasive species and biodiversity, beginning her journey in environmentalism. Michelle focuses on the intersection between environmental inequities and social justice, inspired to learn more about tree equity to advocate sustainable practices in communities. She hopes to continue researching sustainable practices in college, deepening her understanding of these issues. At Nordson Green Earth Foundation, she contributes by developing a company manual and promoting our fundraisers such as Giving Tuesday, enhancing community engagement in environmental efforts. Outside of Nordson, Michelle serves as captain of her tennis team, performs classical piano, and spends time at her town garden to donate to her local food pantry.
