Meaghan Wood

I'm Meaghan, and over the past 10 years of my career I've learned that there's immense power in uplifting others. I often joke that my actual title is "professional hype woman", but I've learned through the thousands of hours working directly with students and my teams that there's truth to that "title". My passion for helping my students and teammates alike recognize their worth, understand their next steps, and realize when they're already on the right track are just some of the reasons that I love what I do. I thrive in spaces where I get to shout out what's being done well, provide honesty when things need to be changed, and encourage folks to challenge themselves when doubt (or a deadline) creeps up. There's little that I love more than digging into the details, breaking down big processes into smaller steps, and helping meet student's needs wherever they're at in their exploration process. I'm also no stranger to navigating ambiguity, whether because I have a full plate of meetings with folks from a dozen different backgrounds, or I've been given a new project to manage and need to develop a system to keep everything on the rails. The success I've found in my roles has depended on my strengths in communication, time management, organization, relationship-building, program/project coordination, and collaboration. I am always looking for new experiences, moments to grow, and ways to positively impact those around me, students and colleagues alike. I look forward to connecting with you!
