She also serves on the boards of the Canadian Coalition for Children of Incarcerated Parents (CCCIP) and the International Coalition for Children of Incarcerated Parents (INCCIP).

Megan holds an MA in Conflict Analysis and Management from Royal Roads University, where her research focused on access to justice in post‑conflict environments. She is currently a doctoral candidate at the UN‑mandated University for Peace, where her research examines children’s experiences when a parent reintegrates after a prison sentence.

Her academic and professional work contributes to efforts to strengthen justice systems through evidence‑informed practice, rights‑based policy development, and the integration of community‑derived insights into institutional and legal reform.
