About MEGAN
Megan signed on as IWJV’s Sagebrush Communications Specialist in 2023. Megan’s career as a researcher, science communicator, artist, and naturalist has been motivated by a mission to help communities get in touch with the natural world around them through engaging multimedia storytelling. She is thrilled to bring a diverse skill set to the task of elucidating the complexities of sagebrush conservation for IWJV’s network of productive partnerships. Megan’s experience has been a blend of traditional research and science communication. Most recently, she combined her science and arts backgrounds in her work for the media company Atlas Obscura in a production and operations capacity, during which time she produced a series of online “Art & Evolution” classes that taught participants to use drawing as a practice to learn about and connect with natural history and processes in their local environments. When not traveling across the Intermountain West on assignment for IWJV, Megan is at home in rainy Seattle, WA, where she spends most of her free time cooking elaborate meals and chasing whales and waterbirds around Puget Sound.
