Upon graduation, Megan had the privilege of assisting guest artist, Tricia Brouk. Moving to NYC in 2006, this connection was carried on as Megan assisted Tricia on Drift, for the New York Musical Theatre Festival.
Megan has been Co-Director of the Elite Competition Team at Miss Colleen’s Elite Dancentre in Rockville Center, NY since 2013. She has been awarded Best Choreography from various Regional and National Dance Competitions and received a full scholarship to The Pulse in support of her choreography from BDC’s AIM Invitational. Her work at Elite has played a major role in solidifying her choreographic voice and approach towards dance education.
