Megan’s love for experiential learning has always driven the work she does. She is passionate about helping students connect to meaningful experiences, and believes that hands-on learning is an extremely important part of one’s career journey. In 2014, Megan received her Masters of Education from the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. In 2018, she relocated back to the east coast, and prior to joining Penn was an advisor at Drexel University. Outside of work, she loves to spend time exploring her new home of South Jersey with her husband and son. While she loved her time out in Seattle, she is happy to be back east where she originally grew up!
