Bio
Pamela Morgan
Megan and I worked closely together for over 10 years, producing corporate meetings for fortune 100 clients. What I find most outstanding about Megan is her rapport with team members. Our jobs are often high-stress and very time constrained, Megan remains calm under pressure, and that confidence resonates with clients - they always knew she had everything under control. She leads her teams flawlessly, motivating them to succeed in high-pressure situations. Her excellent project management and communication skills have helped us achieve great success on many projects. And she kept up her positive attitude and sense of humor, no matter how stressful the situation, which I appreciated. I heartily recommend Megan!
Jennifer Davit
Megan Wade exceeded all my expectations. In her short time at the Lurie Garden, Megan undertook a comprehensive mapping project that led to significant improvements in our record keeping. In addition to excelling in her specific work requirements, Megan's attitude and energy contributed to a fun and positive working environment. I recommend Megan without any hesitation!
