Megan joined the Center for Advancement of Teaching in the summer of 2021. She received her formal education at Valdosta State University, graduating in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts in Music and a minor in Creative Writing, and has since branched out to learn many other on-the-job skills in the hospitality/events, tech, and nonprofit sectors.
Her passion for writing and storytelling inspired her to pursue an internship with a lifestyle publication in Eugene, Oregon (Eugene Magazine) where she later became a regular contributor for many years. Her knack for the narrative also led her to a position as a digital content manager for a burgeoning tech company called Alpha IT before she made the transition to serving as Grants and Donor Relations Coordinator at Ballet Fantastique, a small nonprofit arts organization in Eugene. Megan also gained firsthand experience with every aspect of nonprofit management as a venue assistant with the John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts, as well as a crash-course in event management with Pink Buffalo Racing Company. Most recently, she served as the Data and Development Manager with Sawtooth School for Visual Art in Winston-Salem.
Megan is thrilled to be a part of the CAT team, where she can bring her diverse skill set to daily use. She is energized by making connections with people and providing the best experience possible for the Wake Forest community.
CAT Responsibilities: Megan has primary responsibility for the day-to-day smooth running of the CAT offices, including scheduling and space reservations. She also takes the lead on internal and external communications such as e-newsletters, print collateral, and social media, as well as coordinating marketing and logistics for conferences and events.
