Welcome to Megan's Homepage!
I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee with my Master of Information Science via the distance education program. My undergraduate degree is from Brigham Young University, Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology with a focus in Archaeology, 2000. I am planning to work in public libraries after graduation.
A short biography of me...
I was born in Hawaii in March 1979, then moved around quite a bit as I was growing up. I was home-schooled until 9th grade, and attended public high school in Chesapeake VA at Great Bridge High. My father was in the Navy. My mother is a pediatric intensive care nurse. They divorced in 1997. I have two sisters and one brother. My older sister just started her master's in speech pathology, and my little sister is working on her bachelor's in deaf studies. My brother is an electrician and has a 4-year old son named Gage.
I began at BYU in 1996, shortly after I turned 17. I majored in French during my first three semesters, then changed majors to Archaeology. I did my field school in Petra, Jordan, on excavations at Natufian and Nabatean sites. I greatly enjoyed my time spent living in the Beduin village of Umm Sehoum (located next to the town of Wadi Musa). While at BYU, I took as many foreign language courses as I could fit into my schedule: French, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, German, and a course on Mayan hieroglyphs. I grew up speaking Hawaiian pidgin around the house.
I met my husband in the Society for Creative Anachronism, a medieval recreation organization. We married in March 2001 in Utah, moved to Virginia right afterward, and bought our home in Chesapeake in April 2002. We had our first children in September 2004, a set of identical twin boys. They were quite the surprise.
Here's a picture of my boys! Two years old, Dominic on the left and Christian on the right. This photo was taken at Gardener Village in Salt Lake City.
