Meghan was previously a Senior Research Associate at MDRC, a social and education policy research organization. In this role, she served as Principal Investigator on numerous studies that aimed to estimate the impacts of Pre-K, home visiting, social-emotional learning, and family support programs on outcomes for children and families.
