Michelle Zimmermann
Michelle joined Namaste Solar in 2022 as a Cost Accountant/AP Lead. She grew up in mid Missouri and transplanted to Colorado in 1998 to raise a family in this beautiful state. Her heart has always guided her to help others in need, and she raised her children by donating their time serving others at food kitchens and other opportunities that arose. Her family also always “adopted” under privileged children at Christmas to do their part to make sure every child had something to open. Michelle is excited to help many more through the philanthropic endeavors of the Namaste Foundation.
