Megan Wingerter is a first year from Wadsworth, Ohio majoring in Environmental Engineering. Though she is not one hundred percent sure where her life will lead her, she wants to continue to help people and the environment at the same time. In the future, she would like to be involved in the process of getting every person clean and safe water in their everyday life. In high school, Megan was heavily involved in a wide array of clubs. She participated in varsity soccer and club soccer throughout her four years.  She also was involved in Volunteer Opportunities for Teens (V.O.F.T.) and National Honors Society. Marching Band and Concert Band played an important part in her high school career. She played the alto saxophone and was a member of her marching band’s council. After her Sophomore year of high school, she got the opportunity to experience the cultures of Spain and France for a two-week long trip. During this time she got the opportunity to experience the diverse cultures of Spain and France and getting a new view on life. For the past four summers Megan has spent a week down in the Appalachian Mountains to repair homes for the less fortunate. She has worked on projects ranging from installing a new roof to repairing the foundation. Megan has been a vegetarian for over four years mainly due to her love of animals. Her bucket list includes canoeing, paddleboarding, rock climbing, and many more fun and adventurous outdoor activities. In her free time, she enjoys writing poetry, reading books, and working out. On sunny days Megan can be found hiking on many different trails or simply just hanging out outside enjoying nature. Megan hopes that where ever life leads her she can continue to be a positive impact on not only people’s lives but the environment too.
