In this episode of the Palm Beach North Podcast, we sit down with Michelle Oyola McGovern, Regional Vice President of Government and Regulatory Affairs for Comcast. A lifelong public servant and proud Puerto Rican, Michelle shares her journey from teaching swim lessons in South Florida to representing a U.S. senator and now leading Comcast’s efforts to expand broadband access across Florida. She reflects on the values that shaped her—kindness, resilience, and connection—and how those principles continue to guide her career, her role as a mother, and her community work.

Michelle opens up about the realities of running for office, her passion for digital equity, and the partnerships she’s built with nonprofits across the state. From empowering girls and first-generation college students to helping seniors access technology, Michelle shares the heart behind her leadership—and what she hopes her daughters, and community, take away from the work she’s doing.
