Get to know Megan a little better …
Are you a spender or a saver?
100% a saver – I hate spending at the best of times!
How do you like to relax?
I often relax by listening to music, doing art, going for walks in nature or doing yoga.
If money and time was no object, what would you be doing right now?I’d buy a comfortable home for myself and my parents, spend more time travelling and creating art, and donate to charities to give back to the community.
Who do you follow on social media?
Whilst I typically refrain from traditional social media in my own time, I do enjoy watching several content creators on YouTube (arts/crafts, tiny homes, gaming).
Who is someone you admire or respect?
I have always admired someone like Katie Piper; someone with the tenacity to keep going despite having gone through something so horrific and suffer through several major surgeries over the years. Even with such a huge setback, it’s inspiring to see how successful she is, regardless of what happened in the past.
And finally … how can a client butter-you-up?Being kind, courteous and a good listener. Having a good sense of humour is also a bonus!
