Megan Feldman is an award-winning writer and adjunct professor of journalism and public relations at the Metropolitan State College of Denver.

She began her career as a Central America-based freelancer in 2000 and later earned a master’s degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York.

Megan’s features have appeared in magazines such as Glamour, Details, and 5280: The Denver Magazine, and in newspapers including the Miami Herald, the San Francisco Chronicle and the Dallas Observer.
