Meghan's circus journey started at age of 7 in a local summer camp. She soon fell in love and began training and touring with the local circus program where she learned about act creation, performance, and what it takes to bring a show on the road. Since then she has performed as a solo artist, as well as part of ensembles creating and performing full shows.
Meghan started her teaching career as an assistant coach at age 16. Since then she has become a head coach for all levels and types of disciplines and has directed camps and programs as well.
