Megann grew up outside of London, Ontario and completed her undergraduate studies at the University of King’s College in Halifax, NS, where she read a lot of books and accidentally discovered a love for the history of science and medicine. Now that she is in her 7th year in HSHM at Yale, Megann reads even more books. She is interested in reproductive justice, particularly looking at abortion (access to, attitudes about) in the decades after Roe v. Wade. Since the start of her time at Yale, Megann has worked for the Medical Historical Library, sorting, analyzing, and schlepping. When not working, Megann is probably autoharping, writing letters, binge-watching TV, or thinking about food. She is passionate about mentorship, care packages, and poutine.
