Michelle Forster, member GSE Team
“My Impressions of India”
Michelle is a chemical engineer with General Mills in Lodi, California where she participates in many activities such as a recent charitable fundraiser where she raised over $245,000.
Michelle traveled to India from January 24th to February 25th of this year and was in awe of the friendliness and warmth of the Indian people. She found the food much spiceer than she is used to, the history interesting and the food industry very similar to that of the United States.
Michelle had such a good time on her Group Study Exchange trip she came home with a fiance.
Michelle Forster was introduced by Dave Tygett.
