Outside of Real Estate

Before real estate, Megan spent more than 14 years in the travel industry, working in a wide variety of roles including negotiating government travel policies, managing a wholesale travel centre and tour guiding. Her passion for discovering unique destinations continues today.
When she's working locally, you'll often find her grabbing a fresh sandwich and a cheeky pineapple tart from
Charmhaven Bakery before heading to appointments. One of her favourite places on the Coast is the beach she can walk to via her own secret track.
