As the Director of Communications, Megan partners with leadership and business development teams to ensure that outreach efforts reflect the program’s mission and values while providing clear and tailored information to prospective clients, alumni families, and referring professionals.

Megan first joined Blue Ridge in 2018 as a field instructor. In this role, she discovered the benefits of meeting others where they are with curiosity, unconditional positive regard and healthy boundaries, empowering them to accept full credit for the various strides they make in treatment. In 2019, Megan advanced to Senior Field Instructor and was awarded the Jumping Mouse Award from the Outdoor Behavioral Health Council.

After leaving the field, Megan eventually stepped into the Communications Specialist role where she gained a more comprehensive understanding of what families face before, during and after placement of their loved ones. Her close collaboration with the Admissions team has allowed her to anticipate the common questions, concerns and needs of Blue Ridge's audience, and her role in developing the BRTW Alumni Network has granted former students and parents the chance to offer insight and stories of hope from the other side of their journey at Blue Ridge.

Megan lives in Asheville, NC, and is currently working towards her Master's degree in Social Work from Western Carolina University. She holds a B.S. in Environmental Policy and Management from UNC Asheville.
