Michelle Vryn

MichelleFlores Vryn, CFRE (she/her/ella) has worked in almost every area of development: major gifts, institutional giving, membership, capital campaigns, consulting, special events, and annual giving. Before joining OneStar as the Chief Development Officer, she worked in international fundraising, led the communications and development team at a nature center in Houston, and, as a board member, helped launch Exploration Green—a 200-acre green space for conservation, recreation, and flood detention in Greater Houston.

Michelle is passionate about mentoring Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) nonprofit professionals and creating better workplace cultures where they can thrive. She helped form the inaugural Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) Committee for EarthShare of Texas and is active on committees with the Association of Fundraising Professionals Global and the Donor Participation Project. When not working, Michelle enjoys watching beauty videos and tutorials, meditating, and spontaneously dropping in on live music around Austin.
