Megan Barbee

After graduating from the University of North Carolina with a BA in English, I took a job as the assistant director of one of the oldest private all-girls summer camps in New England -- it was in this capacity that I first realized I could write as a professional. After the owners sold the camp, I decided to transition into teaching. I baked biscuits at a successful local bakery while attending graduate school, and I was offered a teaching position at the school where I completed my internship. After spending several years in the classroom and completing doctoral coursework, I decided to begin my freelance writing career. My experiences have helped me come to an understanding of the power of language, and I want to use that power, in my personal and professional lives, to create progress.
