Michelle Algya
Marketing Manager
Michelle is a creative at heart. Since a young age, she's enjoyed writing,
design, and photography. She honed her skills throughout high school and
began working as a freelance web designer at just 14 years old. After
graduation, she made her way to Southwest Baptist University where she
earned a degree in Web Systems & Design with a minor in Graphic Design. Michelle joined the JMARK family as an intern on the marketing team in the
spring of 2018. In fact, her first day was the same day as JBITS, a
business technology conference that JMARK put on with over 200 attendees.
She was handed an iPad at 7am and the rest is history. Since her trial by
fire on that first day, Michelle has held nearly every role under JMARK's
marketing umbrella, primarily focused in the digital space. From strategy
development and copywriting to video production and event coordination, she
always likes learning a new skill or taking on a new challenge. This
combination of skills and project management prepared her to take on the
role of Marketing Manager in 2023. Her favorite thing about JMARK, along with so many others, are the people
she gets to work with every day. She says, "There is truly no community
like the one I have at JMARK. Every person is dedicated to the success of
the company and each other. I have been given more opportunities to learn
and grow in my time here than I believe I would anywhere else, and I am
endlessly thankful for it."
Michelle grew up in Mid - Missouri, the 10th of 11 children. (yes, you read that right)
She's always had a love for reading, history, and music.
She is an avid traveler with a goal to see all 50 states before she's 30.
She loves being an aunt to her 18 (and counting) nieces and nephews, the first of whom was born when she was only 7.
With a motto of "try anything once", you can often find her exploring new places, trying new foods, meeting new people, or havi ng new experiences (like touring a cheese factory in Italy).
Others would describe her as joyful, as it is rare for her to go more than 15 minutes without laughing about something.
