Megan was born and raised in Fairfax County, Virginia and comes from a long line of talented and dedicated civil servants. She loves large-scale art, walking wherever she can, eating raw fish, painting with the English language, and her delightful family. Those joys aside, if we're being honest, she isn't any fun.
