She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 1996, and after completing an internship, she joined the practice in 1998. Since 1999, she has represented the practice in Wellington, Florida during the winter months, serving the practice clients who make the trip south. She has been honored to be USET Team Vet in dressage, show jumping and at world championships in driving and vaulting. She was recently appointed Para Dressage Team Vet and is going to the paralympics in Tokyo. Go Team USA! As an FEI veterinary delegate in dressage and show jumping you can often find her at Global or WEF in Wellington.

In her spare time she plays polo, tennis and skis. As an avid Eagles fan, Meg has had season tickets for many years.
