Bio
Michelle Kanda
Michael has always shown himself to be professional, personable, and committed to excellence. We worked together from August 2012 to March 2014 at the Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco ReStore, which is a volunteer-driven retail store that accepts and resells donated home improvement items benefitting Habitat for Humanity. Michael and I were part of a small managerial team tasked with opening the first Habitat ReStore in San Mateo County, CA. Michael demonstrated his incredible aptitude for leadership by remaining calm and making quick, sound decisions under pressure. He also consistently established a rapport and collaborated well with the diverse stakeholders of the Habitat ReStore, including board members, high-school volunteers, affluent donors and self-employed contractors. As well as being a leader, Michael was also team-oriented and always willing to assist or teach a colleague. Michael remains held in high esteem by staff, volunteers, and Habitat donors. Besides his leadership and interpersonal skills, Michael was capable of problem-solving and process improvement. He designed, implemented and led the remodel of the store’s point of sale stations, which increased volunteer efficiency. He also instituted morning meetings to discuss the day’s projects among staff and volunteers. These meetings have since been essential to team cohesion and morale. In part because of Michael’s leadership, our ReStore location broke its sales goals by 50% in the first year and became the fastest ReStore in the nation to reach $75 dollars a square foot, which put it in the top 10% of ReStores nationally. Based on Michael's qualifications and proven results, I believe he will be a welcome addition to any organization.
