Before working at Caring for Colorado, Megan spent six years in various positions at Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation, with her final two years as the deputy director. She also served as executive director of Reach Out and Read Colorado for 11 years. Megan’s entire career has been dedicated to the nonprofit sector, with her first job in college working the night shift at a domestic violence shelter. A learner at heart, she is grateful for the lessons, growth, and opportunities each position has entailed.

Outside of work, Megan enjoys spending time with her family in Colorado’s great outdoors, whether skiing, hiking, or reading a good book in the backyard hammock.
Having been born and raised in Colorado, skiing is Megan’s favorite pastime (she’s been doing it since she was three) and admiring the majestic mountain views.
“When I was 13, I had the opportunity to join a school trip to Spain. This experience opened my eyes to different cultures, and I’ll never forget sampling foods that were new to me. This trip sparked my love of travel, exploration, and always trying something new.”
