She grew up in the Mon Valley, where she built a strong faith in Christ and a love for horses. Since Megan was 3yrs old, it was evident that horses were going to be part of her life. She started riding at 6 and continued on to have horses of her own and compete in local western rodeo style competition. After high school, she attended Slippery Rock University where she earned her degree in Health and Physical Education. There she became involved in many outdoor adventure activities and developed strong ties with Christian campus organizations. In 2005, she spent a spring break doing mission work in New Orleans to help with Katrina relief efforts. This trip helped her decide to live a life of service both to God and people. Since then she has been pursuing a career in camp administration. She has worked for various camps as a counselor, including Shekinah Ranch and then moved on to a 4H camp in North Carolina, where she taught environmental education, leadership programs and served as a summer camp coordinator.

After serving as a counselor in 2006, Megan’s desire was to return to Shekinah Ranch where she could apply her new experiences and training. She believes in the people and mission that God has for this organization. She has seen many young lives transformed and is excited to be a part of its future.
