Linda Michaels recently left Corporate America to follow her dream of opening her own business. In September 2016, she took a leap and opened the first Scout & Molly’s Boutique in Phoenix, Arizona. Scout & Molly’s Boutique is the place where women can find distinctive ways of expressing their style and the customer feels as if she were shopping in her best friend’s closet.

Linda was in the Human Resources industry for 25 years providing HR support and strategy to major companies in California and Arizona. Linda received her Bachelor Degree in Human Resource and also obtained her PHR certification. During her time serving on the board for Arizona SHRM, she was the second person to receive the esteemed President’s Award in the 30 year history. She currently volunteers her time with Society of Human Resources Management Greater Phoenix (SHRMGP) as the President as well as serves her HR community.

Linda lives in Phoenix, AZ with her husband Butch and yellow Labrador retriever Hanna.
