Meaghan is the Campus Chaplain at Rothwell. She is currently studying Certificate IV in Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care. She loves to keep active which includes dancing, going to the gym and drinking A LOT of (great) coffee. She grew up in Melbourne where her love for coffee grew and was involved in a dance ministry that took her all over the country performing dances and running body-image workshops. Meaghan has had many different jobs, ranging from working in a hairdresser, building electrical converters, to then living in Darwin to work in a Juvenile Detention Centre.

 Her favourite thing about Brisbane is the beaches and how kind people are. Meaghan loves trying new things and getting creative but something that will never change is her love for God and for helping young people know their worth and how much they are loved. Meaghan is still involved in the dance ministry and helps run annual dance camps in Melbourne.
