Outside of Nous
Prior to joining Nous, Megan was an Australian diplomat in Timor-Leste, working with government, private sector and not-for-profit stakeholders to design, deliver and evaluate programs that responded to pressing economic and social issues. She has over 10 years’ experience working with governments to improve outcomes for people. In addition to Timor-Leste, Megan worked in Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Kiribati, Fiji and Nauru and at the World Bank in Washington DC.
In her spare time...
Megan loves learning languages (she speaks French, Japanese and Tetun), exploring new corners of the world and growing her list of countries visited. But as a die-hard Francophile she frequently returns to France for cheese, wine and joie de vivre. Closer to home, she enjoys following politics and reading classical and modern literature.
