Meet Our Team

Michelle Lennon

Michelle Vieu
Administrative Manager
Hi, my name is Michelle Vieu and I’m the Administrative Manager for Archways. Currently, I am in our Franklin office, but do travel to our other sites also. While I don’t necessarily help on the front lines, such as our peer supports, I am in the background facilitating some of the assistance we provide to our clients. I also assist our Executive Director and Director of Operations in many facets. I am always willing to assist those who walk in our doors or calls into our office in whatever manner I can.
​Previously, I worked as a registered nurse for a Federally Qualified Health Center. Part of my passion working there was directing individuals and families to resources available to them within their community. I heard about all the great things that Archways does with individuals, families and communities and kept that resource in mind with clients who needed assistance. With the help of other staff, we worked on referring many clients to Archways to assist with needs that are readily available in the community.
Today I am proud to be an employee of Archways. While my path may have taken me down different roads in my past, I was meant to work in Human Services to offer and provide help; eventually my footsteps landed me here with my Archways family. I couldn’t be prouder of our Archways team!
