Megan is a junior at the S.I. Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse University majoring in magazine journalism and international relations. She spent last semester studying abroad in London, where she took British media courses, blogged for New York Women in Communications, ate her way through the city, and traveled on weekends.
Megan spent Summer 2009 as a web editorial intern at Seventeen.com at Hearst Corporation, where she designed quizzes and wrote daily blogs that received over 300 comments (she also blogged about her experience at Seventeen for Ed 2010’s Intern Diaries). During Summer 2008, she was an editorial intern at Parent & Child Magazine at Scholastic – her favorite part was interviewing Queen Latifah for a piece in the features well!
At Syracuse, Megan is managing editor of Jerk Magazine, staff writer for the student newspaper The Daily Orange, orientation leader, and co-executive director of comm.UNITY, a student-run organization that works with local non-profit community organizations to help them create and improve sustainable communication plans. One of her greatest ambitions is to write a best-selling novel that documents issues around the world; studying abroad helped open her eyes to a history of Europe that isn’t taught in most American history classrooms
Some of Megan’s favorite things include skiing, baking choco-chip cookies, soy lattes, shoe shopping, and NYT crossword puzzles.
