Hello! My name is Meggie. I am a Chicago based writer and comedian interested in pop culture, intersectional feminism, indie-rock music, and MTV's The Challenge.

 

As a trans-lesbian artist, I pride myself on critiquing toxic narratives surrounding gender and sexuality in mainstream media. In my work I focus on the intersection of television, film, internet culture, and issues facing the LGBTQ+ communities. 

​

My writing has been published in Instyle, The Outline, Cosmopolitan, Bitch Media, Consequence of Sound, and others. I recently was employed fact checking with In These Times, a leftist-labor magazine based in Chicago, IL. 

 

When I'm not writing, I'm performing comedy with my sketch team Meggie and Laura Present and recording episodes of my podcast YA, We Read It!. Both projects were nominated for Best Sketch and Best Podcast in Chicago Reader's Best of 2022. 

 

Recently, Laura and I released the web series See You in Hell in 2022, a show we wrote, filmed, edited, and helped produce over the course of three years. In late 2023 we plan to release our short film Broadcast.

​

I hope you enjoy me as much as I enjoy me and if you don’t, please try to anyways.
