While earning their master’s at Columbia School of Social Work, Meg spent a summer working at Camp Echo Lake and co-led a youth program hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, and boating in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California. Meg’s passion for marine and environmental conservation led them to volunteer with various organizations including Reef Relief in Key West, Columbia Climate School’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, and Reef Renewal in Key West, where they taught snorkeling, educated youth on seining the Hudson River and fish identification, and assisted with coral conservation. Meg is a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to fighting injustice and inequity. They now work in Kings County Supreme Court with the Center for Alternative Sentencing and Employment Services where they assess clients who are either currently incarcerated at Rikers Island or facing incarceration and advocate for them in Court. Meg is a part-time home and community-based child therapist and clinical service provider working with youth on the autism spectrum. An avid ocean lover, they has swum with Galapagos, hammerhead, nurse, whale, lemon, and sandbar sharks throughout Hawaii, the Florida Keys, and Mexico. On the most recent trip to Maui, Meg was able to hear the humpback whales sing while snorkeling and scuba diving.
