Megan is a wildlife biologist (B.Sc. Ecology & Evolutionary Biology; M.Sc., UBC) with experience across NGOs, industry, Indigenous Nations, and government since 2016. Her core expertise is species-at-risk habitat assessment and the statistical analysis of telemetry and survey data, with a strong focus on raptor ecology. She has designed and led complex field programs, piloting novel technologies and methods across multiple taxa, and translating results into clear, decision-ready recommendations.

Megan is Bear Aware certified, a North American Banding Council–certified bander, and holds Level 1 Basic First Aid. Her conservation research has been recognized with awards including the Al Martin Conservation Fellowship and the CFUW Memorial Fellowship. Recent work emphasizes predictive modelling to identify species occurrence and habitat value at landscape scales, tailoring approaches to project objectives and regulatory needs. She also contributes through leadership roles as the Vice President of the BC Field Ornithologists and Scientific Advisor to the Pacific Megascops Research Alliance.

Outside of work, Megan explores Vancouver Island’s bluff ecosystems, logs observations on iNaturalist, photographs insects (especially spiders), and unwinds with fantasy films and novels.
