Megan BriefDigital Marketing Coordinator
Meg grew up in New York’s Hudson River Valley, where the mountains and marshlands nurtured her reverence for nature. She hiked, biked, kayaked and rehabilitated any injured or orphaned animal that crossed her path.
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 Team and marketing lead for Nat Hab's Women's Journeys!
Meg resides in Bozeman, Montana, where she can be found hiking with her partner, dog and cat and photographing the wonders of the Northwest. Her travels with Nat Hab have taken her to Churchill, where she saw polar bears and the northern lights on a women-only Arctic adventure, Alaska Bear Camp with her mom, and Brazil's Pantanal, a biodiverse haven for jaguars and other wildlife.
