If you don’t know Megan Budway, she is an incredible human, dog mom, singer, educator and Ninja Warrior Athlete from North Carolina. Megan was a music teacher for several years, but recently made a career change (still within education) to allow herself more time to focus on her training as an athlete and give herself a better space for her mental health.
