About Me.
Megan is a Year 2 Arts Management student from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. Since kindergarten, her love and passion for the arts have allowed her to nurture multiple skills, such as creative writing, where she has already garnered 40k readers from her published stories. She is very interested in public-facing roles involving policy, marketing, and business through the arts. Being adaptable, innovative, and outspoken, she aims to become an all-rounder to inspire others to cultivate a better appreciation for the arts industry. During her free time, Megan immerses herself in research and literature, pursuing other interests outside the arts such as true crime, social justice, and policymaking. She never fails to recommend the 48 Laws of Power and The Picture of Dorian Gray when the topic of books surfaces.
