I had the privilege of managing Meghan for almost four years in her role as Web Presence Manager at Century College. She was instrumental in leading Century College’s transition to a modern, responsive website through a large-scale web redesign initiative. Through rigorous and continual user research and data/analytics collection and analysis, and working with a variety of College stakeholders, Meghan not only developed a website that met the needs of our various web audiences, but managed ongoing advancements to ensure an effective and efficient web experience. Meghan’s unique combination of technical and professional skills, and her commitment to professional development served her extremely well in her position at Century College.

Make things user-friendly and keeps you thinking of “what do you want at the end” and “how is this going to better serve the customer/students?” This approach is successful and Meghan created a welcoming environment to make real quality improvements in the process.
