May 5, 2021

What is Brenda’s Role?

Brenda Michael is a member of OHCA’s accounting team. She manages day-to-day account activities and works with members to address problems or concerns related to accounting, billing, and invoicing. If you have any questions about your invoice or billing, please contact Brenda at bmichael@ohca.com.

Favorite Part of Her Job

Brenda says her favorite part of the job is our awesome members! She’s still getting to know many of them and look forward to working with new members. As a child, Brenda would play “business” where she would sit at a desk and punch numbers in the calculator and write them on her chalkboard, so believe it or not, she says she’s living her dream. You can look at accounting as crunching numbers, but there’s a side of it that tells a story and there is always some little mystery that needs to be solved.

Favorite Oregon Restaurant

Her favorite Oregon restaurant is a small Italian place in Saint Helens called Dockside Steak and Pasta. The food, the atmosphere, and the hospitality are all very classic Italian. When you walk in, you feel like family and she says she has never left without a smile on her face and a to-go bag.

Favorite Activity Outside of Work

Family, family, family! Brenda, her husband, and their three kids, moved from Indiana to Oregon in 2018 to be closer to her family, so they spend every moment they can with them. They love hiking and day trips to the beaches, mountains, and exploring anywhere new!
