Five Things That Matter with Meg Chandler '13 Work in international development felt as natural to Meg Chandler ’13 as going to work for the family business. Born in Bangkok, and spending her early years in Burma, Meg and her brother James ’10 moved with their family to Dorset in 1999. After watching her parents dedicate their careers to international service, Meg said she always knew that she would spend her career in a similar way. Meg graduated from St. Lawrence University in 2017 with a BA in Global Studies. While there, she conducted research for her senior thesis in Nepal, Burma, Kenya, and Tanzania, studying street art through the lenses of colonialism, nationalism, and globalization. For the next five years, she worked in Washington DC in international development and humanitarian aid for Tetra Tech, a United States Agency of International Development (USAID) contractor, and Mercy Corps, an NGO focused on humanitarian aid. At Tetra Tech, Meg had the opportunity to work in Afghanistan supporting two USAID programs on short-term technical assignments—Promote: Women’s Leadership Development Program (WLD) and the Initiative to Strengthen Local Administrations. |
