Megan grew up as a Parks & Rec kid, attending summer camps, park concerts, art fairs, parades, haunted trails, feeding the ducks, and playing recreational soccer and softball. Megan has over 16 years of experience in recreation working in numerous departments and localities across the county, from Colorado to Lake Tahoe. For fun, Megan enjoys hiking, paddling, skiing, singing, and playing music. "This is more than a job to me, it is a purpose. Access to parks, recreational activities, and events is the backbone of a healthy and thriving community."
