Meg co-founded Local Works Global and leads learning, knowledge management, and communications, translating a decade of practitioner experience into the publications, evidence, and stories. She also co-leads network engagement and grantmaking, and contributes to our consulting and training practice.

Meg brings seven years of experience in international development, primarily through USAID's Local Works program, where she managed multi-million-dollar grant portfolios across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East with particular depth in fragile and conflict-affected contexts. Her work spans program and grant management, participatory grantmaking, knowledge management, and strategic communications. She brings a feminist and intersectional lens to all she does, from gender-sensitive research and analysis to building inclusive, trust-based partnerships with civil society, government agencies, and INGOs. She also supported Professor Marshall Ganz and the Practicing Democracy Project at Harvard Kennedy School, leading project management at the intersection of organizing, narrative, and power.

Meg holds an M.A. in Law and Diplomacy from The Fletcher School at Tufts University, concentrating in gender and intersectional analysis and human security and contributed to the Decolonizing International Relations conference. She holds a double B.A. in International Relations and in French from the University of Southern California. Outside of work, she frequents local open mics as a singer-songwriter, takes her cat Bonnie on long walks, and cooking or baking meals and treats for her loved ones.
