To obtain her doctorate degree in Audiology, she attended Central Michigan University.

Once in CA, she found many National Parks and many mountain trails within CA and the surrounding states. She had an eye for photography, you can see all her adventures posted on her Instagram account, drmegs2.0 Megan will be deeply missed, and will live on forever in our hearts.
