Hi! My name’s Megan, and I’m a writer and lifelong Seacoast resident. I grew up immersed in the local arts scene as an actor and musician, and still love getting involved in creative projects when I can. In my spare time I enjoy exercising, reading, traveling, and spending time with friends. I also love sour patch watermelon and all things history, cats, and fall.
