Originally from the UK, Megan moved to New Orleans to study a Master of Architecture at Tulane University. During her time at Tulane, she was a US-UK Fulbright Scholar, alongside awards from the P.E.O International Peace Scholarship, and the Elizabeth Tuckerman Scholarship. Her graduate studies focused primarily on coastal resilience, water systems urban planning, and alternative settlement strategies for flood risk communities, designing projects in Jaipur, Wales, and Louisiana. Megan was also part of a Tulane student team that displayed work in the 2023 Venice Biennale’s Spanish Pavilion “Foodscapes”, which explored the intersection of architecture and food systems. Graduating in 2023, Megan was awarded TUSA’s Outstanding Thesis Award, and nominated for a RIBA Silver Medal. Her work has also been recognized with a CRIT Scholar research fellowship, culminating with a presentation at the ACSA National Conference.

Prior to moving to the US, Megan worked for award-winning architecture practices in London, UK, where she contributed to sustainable affordable housing projects for local councils. She was involved in sustainable materials research groups and developed a design prototype for cyclone-resilient housing in the South Pacific. Megan also lived in Australia for a year, working as a designer for the Melbourne Metro Tunnel project. She received her Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Nottingham, UK.

Megan joined Waggonner & Ball in 2023, and works across South Carolina, Virginia, and California on resilience planning projects.
