Megan specialises in systems thinking and systemic change work at the lab.  Her expertise lies in using participatory approaches, including community-based system dynamics, and qualitative and quantitative modelling to support change.  

She has a passion for working with community stakeholders to improve the development and implementation of supports and services to ensure that they are both empowering and impactful within the communities they serve. 

Megan holds a leadership role on several projects that investigate and foster place-based systems change, including the Youth Endowment Fund Neighbourhood Fund project in Bradford and Birmingham, Lambeth Early Action Partnership (LEAP) evaluation, and Kailo.  

Before joining Dartington in 2021, Megan worked at the Washington University School of Medicine where she applied qualitative, participatory, and systems-based approaches to uncover barriers, and develop interventions to improve health supports in the region. 

Megan has a MSc in social work with a specialisation in system dynamics from the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis. During her graduate degree training she worked in close collaboration with the Social System Design Lab.
