When Megan was 17-18, she could feel that her modelling clock was ticking and she started to reach out to some of the connections she had made to secure internships. She started working in the film industry, doing small jobs for VICE, Bold Films, and Milford Animation Studio. From there, Megan knew that she wanted to try out as many career opportunities as possible.

Her first step into the influencer marketing space was when she landed the role of Junior Talent Manager at Redrock Entertainment Management, a talent agency. It was during this time that Megan noticed how actors and models started to become integrated into the world of social media as influencers and content creators.
