ABOUT MEGAN
Writer. Maker. Musician.
I'm a professional communicator and president of my union local by day. In my free time I am active in community, craft, music, and creating a home. I live on Gabriola Island in British Columbia.
​
This page is my project resume. If you would like to know more about my professional life, visit my LinkedIn profile.
My textile work and writing explore the art of everyday living, personal resilience, and how to build interdependent community in times of crisis. Though always in search of a better world, my focus is on sharing tools and techniques for surviving this one.
​
I come from a long history of environmental and social movement organizing and am comfortable presenting on a variety of subjects related to mental health, craft and making, and the role of community in the face of an uncertain future.
