Megan BriefDigital Marketing Coordinator
At 18, Meg summited Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. Upon her return, she secured a gig writing accommodation descriptions for Nat Hab’s safari camps. With a dream of becoming an official staff member one day, Meg declared a major in English & Environmental Studies. In between her classes at Marist College, Meg pursued a photojournalism project titled 'Anthropocene on the Hudson' in partnership with National Geographic Open Explorer. Her "Backyard Expedition" documented the impact of human activity on local trails and empowered her community to pollute less and protect more.
Meg’s love for learning about the wild world prompted her to enroll at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) for a Master’s in Nature-Culture-Sustainability Studies. During her first semester, Meg traveled to South Africa and met an all-women anti-poaching squad, made conservation-inspired art with local students and developed an obsession with pangolins. The transformative experience laid the groundwork for her graduate thesis: 'Exploring Multimedia Storytelling as a Novel Tool to Inspire Americans to Participate in Wildlife Conservation.'
As Marketing Coordinator, Meg's responsibilities include building and launching eNews, cataloging digital assets and curating photography for the Nat Hab website, and writing for the Good Nature travel blog. Meg aspires to cultivate an inclusive environment for all, and she’s making progress as a member of the DEI Community and marketing lead for Nat Hab's Women's Journeys!
Although Meg resides in America’s smallest state, she always finds room for big adventures—from examining tide pools with her partner in New England to honeymooning in the Chocó rainforest and camping with her dog and cat to photographing wolves in Yellowstone. Meg’s travels with Nat Hab have taken her to Churchill to see polar bears and the northern lights on a women-only Arctic adventure, and to Alaska Bear Camp where she bunked with her mom.
