In 2014, Megan was awarded the Alison Willett Award at the prestigious ISTD Modern Janet Cram National Finals. She also auditioned successfully for the English National Ballet’s Youth Company (ENBYouthCo) and as a company member performed in the curtain raiser of the English National Ballet’s Modern Masters production at Sadler’s Wells.

In 2015, Megan gained a place at the Institute of Arts Barcelona and she graduated in 2018 with a First Class BA(Hons) Degree in Dance and whilst living in Spain she performed in various productions as well as appearing on Spanish TV.
