Megan grew up in the fishing community of Gloucester, MA where she developed a deep love for the ocean and commitment to community. After four years in the cornfields of Ohio, Megan returned to New England and has since called Maine home. Megan has worked in the nonprofit sector for several decades and currently provides leadership coaching and consulting services to nonprofits and philanthropic organizations. Through her career in the nonprofit sector she has worked to uplift the interconnected wellbeing of people, place, and animals.
Megan has been involved with Dressage4Kids for about 7 years, and currently serves on the Board of Directors. When asked what motivates her most about Dressage4Kids, Megan writes, "The focus on creating access to training opportunities for those from different socio-economic backgrounds along with the clear message that dressage is for all horses really drew me in. There are many things in the horse world that seem very out of reach and Dressage4Kids opens doors for amazing training, fun, and incredible opportunities. The ethics of the program - with a focus on horsemanship, responsibility, and mentorship also appeal to me." Megan also shares, "I hold a lot of gratitude for D4K and the people that have crossed our paths as a result. D4K builds community and that is something we all need."
Megan is honored to be mother to two young adults—both of whom are bravely creating their own paths. Dogs, hiking, playing on and in the ocean, reading, and sharing meals with friends nourish her outside of work.
