Michelle Strickler (Siletz – Rogue River Shasta & Applegate) grew up seeing the impacts of alcoholism and addiction in her family. When she became a mom at 18, she knew she wanted to create something different for her children.

Starting in entry-level roles at her tribal health organization, Michelle worked her way to becoming a licensed pharmacy technician at the Siletz Tribal Pharmacy—helping her community heal and thrive.

Her story reminds us it’s never too late to make a change and invest in yourself for the next generation of healers.
