Megan is a first year Master's student in International Affairs at the Hertie School. She grew up in a small town outside Toronto and holds a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and History from the University of Western Ontario in London. Since graduating in 2021, Megan has lived in Australia, where she worked and travelled extensively across Oceania and Southeast Asia. She views travel as a powerful form of education, which partly inspired her decision to pursue a master's at an international school abroad. Her academic interests focus on integrating sustainability into policy, particularly within the tourism sector, and exploring ways to bridge the growing political divide on this issue. Megan values a balanced lifestyle and continually seeks opportunities to learn and expand her horizons beyond formal education, all while remembering to enjoy life along the way. Outside of her academic pursuits, she enjoys hiking, reading, painting, practicing yoga, and playing video games.
