MEG FRIEL

Meg is a multimedia journalist with a passion for storytelling. Meg graduated from Saint Michael's College in 2021 with a bachelor’s degree in Media Studies, Journalism, and Digital Arts and a focus in political science. There, she dabbled in writing for publication, videography and video editing, page design, and graphic design. She worked for Saint Michael's College newspaper, “The Defender,” as a junior reporter for one year before becoming the executive editor in 2019. She received the John Donoghue Award for Excellence in Journalism the following year, an award given to the graduating senior who has provided strong support, leadership, and commitment to one or more of Saint Michael's student publications.

Meg now works as the Assistant Director of the Maine Outdoor Film Festival.

Outside of her professional life, she volunteers every Monday night for the Center for Grieving Children in Portland as a co-facilitator on their Tender Living Care night, a program directed at families with loved ones who are diagnosed with a life-impacting illness. She would happily argue that volunteering for the Center has been her favorite and most fulfilling part of moving to Portland thus far.

If she's not doing any of the above, she likes to spend her time outside around New England, reading, writing, cooking or dragging her friends along for a swim in Casco Bay.
