5 questions with a Highwire Senior Account Manager

Megan is passionate about helping clients build stronger communities and tell the most important stories of our time.

What’s the one thing you really enjoy doing?

I love learning and am a voracious reader. I’m always checking out the latest edition of WIRED from the Boston Public Library, making sure I’ve read the newest Silvia Moreno-Garcia book, and have watched likely too many videos about our energy grid.

What’s your area of interest and expertise?

The only way we can solve and adapt to climate change is together. I help companies who have a similar mission, whether it’s through the well-covered solutions – such as decarbonizing our grid or electrifying everything – to more unique solutions such as building robotic beehives to keep bees safe or breeding more resilient strains of fruits and vegetables.

What did you do prior to Highwire?

I’ve been with Highwire for most of my career, but did a very memorable stint as an intern at NASA.

If you weren’t working in the communications industry, what would you be doing instead?

Finding a way to take care of plants and the planet full time.

What I’m doing when I’m not working…

I spend time with friends, family and my partner, who’s in the photo with me! We host board game nights, love to go on hikes and try to build new habits to get closer to that ever elusive zero-waste life.

Everyone at Highwire is hands-on with client work and the principals are no exception. Some of the brands Kathleen has worked with.
