Michelle Conte

Michelle is a current volunteer at the Foundation to Advance Vascular Cures. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Genetics and Genomics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2024 and currently works at UCSF-ZSFG as a Clinical Research Coordinator for the trauma surgery research team. Her passions for patient education and community outreach programs brought her to Vascular Cures with a motivation to serve patients and reach them before they present to the hospital. Through her work with both the VHEA and CHAMPIONS programs, Michelle has had the pleasure of learning the benefits of communicating medicine and building relationships with patients, and how empowering them with knowledge can be just as key as clinical interventions.
