Hi. I’m Meghan, a technical writer based in the Pacific Northwest looking to transition my skills into a role benefiting the climate.

Out of the office you’ll find me in my art studio tinkering with whatever medium has captivated my attention this month, researching my latest hyperfocus, or pondering our place in the universe.
