A member of Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla Tribes, Michelle Liberty grew up in northeastern Oregon. She later attended Reed College, Linfield College, and the American University in Paris, spending six years in Paris and London. After a stint working in marketing and advertising for both domestic and international agencies, Michelle returned to her Eastern Oregon roots, taking the position of Marketing Director for Wildhorse Resort and Casino, just outside of Pendleton. During that time, she accompanied the Travel Oregon team to such trade shows as ITB, World Travel Market, and IPW promoting the casino, Tamástslikt Cultural Institute, and tribal tourism throughout the state. Twelve years later, Michelle opened Attitude, Inc., a marketing consulting firm, and also now serves as Travel Oregon’s Tribal Tourism Liaison. In her off-time, Michelle travels for golf, wine, food, and to visit her son, Maxime, who lives in the Bay Area.
