Megan is a non-profit administrative professional with extensive experience in grant acquisition/management, community partner and coalition development, as well as advocacy and shaping of public policy related to health and wellness. She is currently a Peer Support Manager for Recovery Beyond, an adventure community for individuals in recovery from substance use.

Connection to nature has been an integral part of Megan’s own journey of discovery. She began her recovery pathway with outdoors running, obstacle course racing, and caving in Southern Indiana / Northern Kentucky’s karst country. Megan’s passion for the outdoors expanded through her exposure to the Pacific Northwest, adding hiking, kayaking, and the occasional mountain to her collection of activities.

Megan’s world was turned upside down in 2024, when she was diagnosed with a rare and chronic neurological disorder called Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy-Related Inflammation. She learned about Outdoor Mindset while seeking a means to balance her adventurous drive with her new medical reality. Megan knows, in a very intimate way, how significant both community and nature can be when walking the trail to renewal. Thus, she strives to share nature’s transformative power through communities like Outdoor Mindset, to all who seek healing and well-being.
