Megan's background:
- Megan received her Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics, teacher preparation option, from the University of Washington. She graduated in Spring, 2005. She then joined Teach for America, which is how she ended up in her current position.
- Megan says math was always difficult for her, but she liked that there was always a right answer. Her seventh grade math teach found many different ways to make math seem useful. She began to see its relevance in the real world and the subject became that much more interesting.
- Megan's advice is to look at all your options, as there are a lot of career choices out there. You want to make sure you can find something that you love. Life after college is rough, and she can't imagine doing something she doesn't enjoy. Pick something that will challeng you and bring you joy, so that waking up at 5:00am doesn't seem so bad!
