Megan Johnson (she/her)
Co-Director of Training
Megan is in her second year studying Global and International studies, specializing in Global Politics. Her interest in global affairs and issues stems from travelling and moving a lot as a kid, living in England and the Philippines before living in Canada. She started MUN when she was in grade nine and hasn’t looked back since. She led her high school’s MUN club in grades 11 and 12, and that has pushed her to be a part of a UNS executive this school year.
Aside for MUN, she loves spending time with the people she cares about, along with dancing on a night out. She is also a huge concertgoer, so she LOVES music recommendations for smaller artists that come to Ottawa. She also loves to ski during the winter, and has taught skiing for 5 years before coming to Carleton.
