Certified Compost Operations Manager™ Spotlight: Michelle Owen

I am a chemical engineer with a background in managing multiple manufacturing industries, such as paper, cement, and explosives. Since 2015, my portfolio has grown to include biosolids recycling through windrow composting, by managing two sites in central Florida and central Texas. I have grown to love the advantages of compost and utilize it in my yard and garden at home.
 
Why did you choose to become certified through the USCC Certification Commission?
 
I pursued the compost manager certification to keep myself up-to-date with the industry, the science of composting, and with any new techniques to improve my operations.
