Hi, I'm Megan.

[she/her]

In 2024, I left my three decades of my life in the US to live in China to explore my birth country, language, and culture.

​

Since then, I've been working at NYU Shanghai where I share stories everyday about what connects us all across our different upbringings, cultures and languages.

 

Prior to February 2024, I was a public radio journalist, hosting and producing NPR's Morning Edition on WKAR-FM, the NPR member station based in Michigan's Capital Region. In this role, I became the first Asian American to host the daily news show in WKAR's 100-year history.

 

As a Chinese American adoptee, I capture the nuances of the adoptee community, like this story I reported on the different perspectives transracial adoptees hold surrounding abortion and how Lunar New Year can be a reclamation of identity.

 

You may have heard some of my stories on BBC Radio 4, NPR's Morning Edition & Weekend Edition.

 

​My reporting has been recognized with awards from the Detroit Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists and the Michigan Associated Press Media Editors.​
