Megan attends Iowa State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in the class of 2025. With a fervor for business, medicine and leadership, she is dedicated to creating a culture of progress and change to drive wellness within all areas of the veterinary profession. She utilizes a relationship-centric and collaborative approach to foster growth-focused, lasting connections as she works to bring unity in the face of a worldly season of divisiveness.  Megan’s interest in and commitment to veterinary medicine began at the age of four.  Throughout undergrad, her mentor encouraged her to explore practice ownership and techniques for leading others. Within this space, she was able to realize her passion for entrepreneurship and transformational leadership which ultimately led her to pursue VBMA.  In addition to business ownership, Megan’s professional interests include small animal orthopedic surgery, rehabilitation, and acupuncture. Outside of the professional space, Megan enjoys backpacking around the world, reading, and visiting the ocean any chance she gets. She finds her greatest joy in being an aunty and relearning playful curiosity.
