About Megan

Driven, adaptable, and resourceful, I bring a diverse hands-on background in trades such as electrical work, mechanics, and plumbing, paired with a lifelong passion for fitness, leadership, and business. Raised in the Yukon wilderness, I’ve developed a strong work ethic and a fearless approach to learning by doing. I successfully launched and ran my own business in 2021, gaining extensive experience in operations, management, and finance. I later made the deliberate choice to pursue further education to deepen my knowledge and expand my professional capabilities. A dedicated wife and mother, I am goal-oriented and motivated to build a future that supports both personal and family growth. I thrive in fast-paced environments, adapt quickly, and bring energy, discipline, and integrity to every opportunity I take on.
