Meg grew up in southern Maine, traveled and worked after school, and returned to make Maine home nearly 10 years ago. She currently works as a biologist for the small consulting firm (Flycatcher LLC) based out of Yarmouth, Maine. She recently finished up a master’s degree in biology at the University of Southern Maine where her graduate school research investigated the effects of restoring spawning alewife access on phosphorus budgets in New England lakes. Her thesis work was through the Future of Dams project, funded by a 4-year National Science Foundation EPSCoR grant (University of Maine). Meg received undergraduate degrees in biology and chemistry. As an undergrad, she won the SER Student Ladderman Grant for research on the impact of restoring historic tidal regimes to vegetation in a former saltmarsh in Wiscassett, Maine. At her current job she enjoys supporting stream and wetland restoration projects, including permitting and design, through to construction implementation and post-construction evaluations
