Meghan (she/hers) serves as the Experiential and Community-Based Learning Coordinator for the Rubenstein School. In this position, Meghan brings skills in environmental education, culturally relevant pedagogy and curriculum development, outdoor leadership, community partnership development, data analysis, and holistic student support to this work.

Meghan graduated from UNH in 2009 with a degree in Microbiology, a minor in French, and a focus in Pre-Med. During her undergraduate experience, Meghan was involved with research within fields of epidemiology, virology, bacteriology, and genetics, and she worked for three years in a clinical microbiological laboratory. After UNH, Meghan farmed full-time and began to focus on soil health, regenerative practices, food justice, and youth education. This led to five years of teaching high school science and math in both Vermont and Maine, where Meghan was able to experiment and test out various experiential practices and direct applications of student learning.

In 2018, in tandem with teaching full-time, Meghan joined the Rubenstein School community as a member of the Master’s in Leadership for Sustainability (MLS) program. Meghan graduated from this program in 2020, spending much of her capstone experience focused on culturally relevant pedagogical practices and curriculum development in environmental education for K-12 students. This experience created expansive and robust opportunities to engage with community partners and develop cross-sector relationships and led to a state-wide consulting position with the Maine Environmental Education Association. Meghan returned to UVM in 2021 as Associate Director and Academic Advisor in the College of Education and Social Services and is currently enrolled in the UVM M.S. Clinical Mental Health Counseling program.

Meghan spends as much time as she can outside in the woods—running around, playing, and exploring with her partner and pup on foot, bike, or skis.
