About Megan
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO JOIN THE ZEAL TEAM?
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO JOIN THE ZEAL TEAM?
I decided to join the Zeal team because I was so inspired by the mission of closing gaps in health, wealth, and skills and the passion, commitment, and care that the team brings to this work every day.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE TO LIVE BY?
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE TO LIVE BY?
“If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.” - Fred Rogers. I am a huge fan of Mr. Rogers and his work. I aim to carry this message into every interaction with a goal of leaving each person I interact with better than I found them.
WHAT IS ONE THING MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU?
WHAT IS ONE THING MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU?
I have a hidden talent from my former life in events– making balloon garlands! If you need to take a situation from a regular day to a party, give me 30 minutes and I can transform your space into a whole lot of fun!
OUTSIDE OF WORK, WHAT ENERGIZES YOU?
OUTSIDE OF WORK, WHAT ENERGIZES YOU?
I am energized by bringing people together and being in community! I love cooking good food for my large extended family, hosting themed events for friends, and creating opportunities for connection with my neighbors. Whether it is my casual monthly Craft Club or a Tomatopalooza Summer dinner party, my goal is always for people to be able to bring their whole selves and have a fun time when they enter a space I am hosting in!
