Megan said the secret to her success lies in establishing and maintaining relationships with people at all levels of the business and having empathy and understanding of what motivates and challenges them.

“My advice to aspiring women in travel is to be true to themselves, celebrate the wins (no matter how small) and don't be afraid to fail or as I like to call it; learn.”

 

Megan is an active participant in Mantra Group's 'Women in Mantra' initiative which provides opportunities for women within the Group to build their skills, confidence and extend their networks to further their careers.

 

Megan holds a Bachelor of Business from the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane.
