Board Treasurer Spotlight
Michele Goe is an avid athlete (tennis, golf, cycling, and hiking) and a new swimmer. She enjoys the salty beaches in New England from spring to fall. The best part of swimming for Michele is the joy of movement in water. For Michele, swimming is a family affair, both of her children are avid swimmers on the local swim team.
Michele had water anxiety for years prior to taking lessons as a new parent. In late adulthood she began to resolve her fear and learn to swim, motivated by a desire to break the 'curse' of women in her family who are afraid of water and cannot swim.
Michele currently does asset allocation research at a trillion dollar asset manager in Boston. Dr. Goe is the author of several academic papers on sustainability policy. She earned her doctorate in materials science from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Dr. Goe has master's and bachelor's degrees in engineering from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
