She is currently the Vice President for the Graduate Student Association (GSA) and the SBS Representative and Director of Marketing and Media for Graduate Student Government (GSG). She also represents GSG as a member of the Student Wellness Advisory Group. She currently works as a GA for a project through the Center for Community Health and Engaged Research (CHER). Her research interests are on the intersection of disability and the criminal justice system, and she is defending her thesis this month. She is also a dual-enrolled student, taking courses through the University of South Florida as part of a certification program. This certificate is through the Institute for Translational Research Education in Adolescent Substance Use (ITRE). As part of this program, she has developed an evidence-based practice curriculum implementation model in partnership with Native Americans for Community Action (NACA). Through her various roles, she has had the opportunity to attend multiple conferences: ACCJH twice, WSSA once, and ITRE twice. This year, Megan celebrated her first coauthor credit on a published research article and is working on a second publication based on her partnership with ITRE and NACA.

“The MS Applied Criminology program has truly changed my life and helped connect me to so many incredible and unique opportunities! I’m incredibly thankful for my time here and could not have done any of this without the support of this department & program!”
