Megan Grant
Portland
Summary
I have many years of people-centered experience with almost every age; through this I have been able to practice my communication skills and task management. I am a dedicated worker and will do the best I can for my employer and my clients, and am open to any more learning opportunities. With the goal of going into the medical field after university I am wanting to go further into that category to expand my knowledge and learn from future job experience that will be vital to this career path. I currently reside in Portland Oregon, but will be relocating to Eugene in August 2026.
