Megan is currently in her fifth year at The Pennsylvania State University, studying Architectural Engineering. Within Architectural Engineering, Megan is pursuing the Lighting/Electrical concentration. She plans to graduate with a Master's and Bachelor's of Architectural Engineering in May of 2016. When it comes to lighting, Megan is passionate about the energy intensiveness of light sources and their controls and integration within the overall building system.

 

After her second year, Megan had the opportunity to intern with Lutron Electronics, Co as a member of the Specification and Design Services team. She thoroughly enjoyed working with controls and their integration into the lighting system. She also worked with the occupancy sensor layout team to create suitable sensor layouts in various spaces. This summer, 2015, she worked as a Lighting Designer for Cline Bettridge Bernstein Lighting Design in New York City. At Cline Bettridge Bernstein, Megan was exposed to many different aspects of the industry and gained essential knowledge about lighting design before going into her final year at school. In addition to her courses, Megan manages a part time job at Irving's while maintaining a high level of success in her studies.

 

At Penn State Megan is heavily involved with the Student Society of Architectural Engineers (PSU student chapter of AEI), serving two years on the executive board. She also had the opportunity to represent SSAE in THON 2015 as a dancer spending 46 hours on her feet to help raise awareness and funds to aid families affected by childhood cancer.
