After teaching English in public high school for four years and completing her graduate work at Pepperdine University, she felt the relentless urge to explore this spectacular planet, and began teaching in international education. This life-changing journey took her on adventures across dozens of countries, while having the opportunity to live in France, Indonesia, Lebanon and Argentina over the past 13 years. A few of her most unforgettable moments include bungeeing off a bridge in New Zealand, hang gliding over Brazil’s gleaming coastline, whitewater rafting down the Nile, trekking Indonesia’s vast jungles and volcanoes, and rappelling into Vietnam’s labyrinth of ancient caverns.
Megan is extremely excited to return to the BVI for a second summer with VISIONS. She resides with her partner in the Patagonian region of Argentina, where she teaches English and math, explores the hiking trails of the Andes mountains, practices her Argentinian Spanish with her running team, and surfs the southernmost beaches in the world.
One of Megan’s favorite quotes: “I think about the hands I have held, the places I’ve seen, the vast lands whose dirt is caked on the bottom of my shoes. The world has changed me.” -Amelia Earhart
