Hi, I'm Meaghan, originally from the Northeast and I've spent the last 7 years in Raleigh! I'm currently an HR Professional focusing on early talent recruitment. But my real joy comes from building meaningful relationships. So in 2021, I had the pleasure of learning about Triangle YP Civitan Group and l never looked back! It's been my biggest honor to belong to Triangle YP and getting to know all of our wonderful & altruistic members while giving back to our local community. When I'm not at work or YP events you can find me chasing beach sunsets and finding the best places in town to sit under twinkle lights, or watching my latest binge worthy TV show!

I've been a member of Triangle YP Civitan since 2022 and became a board member in 2023. I moved to Raleigh in 2021 and work as a software engineer. I enjoy running, hiking, and snowboarding.

I graduated from UNC Chapel Hill in 2018 with a degree in Environmental Science. I now work as an Environmental Planner, where I focus on transportation projects and minimizing their impact on the environment. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, playing tennis, and hanging out with my dog Ollie!

I'm originally from New Jersey and moved to North Carolina to attend Elon University where I graduated with my degree in Special & Elementary Education. I have been in the Triangle for the past 9 years and joined the Civitans in 2023. Being a former Girl Scout and Epsilon Sigma Alpha member, Civitans became a great way to reconnect with volunteering, give back to my community and make some new friends. I especially love volunteering with organizations that support my students. When I'm not teaching or at a Civitans event, you can catch me at a yoga class, crafting or binging reality TV.

I graduated from Purdue University in Indiana in 2016 with a BS in Multidisciplinary Engineering and then returned to the Triangle after being away for more than a decade. I spend my days at John Deere making golf & turf equipment more productive, ergonomic, or electric, and my nights finishing up my MBA at NC State (Go Pack!) I live in Raleigh with my wife Kaitlyn—who you’ll also meet at Civitan events—and our rescue dog Millie. I love Civitan as a way to give back to our local community. My favorite events are the ones where I break a sweat and go home tired knowing I worked hard for a good cause!

Hi! I'm Lauryn, I'm originally from New Jersey. I attended High Point University with a BA in English Writing and Lenior Rhyne University with an MA in Writing. I have spent most of my career in nonprofit social media and am now in higher education. I moved to Durham in 2021 and joined Civitan in 2024. It has been one of the best decisions I've made yet. I love getting to know our members and giving back to our community. I'm an avid runner, I love being outside, watching basketball and traveling.

I graduated from Western Carolina University with a degree in Natural Resource Management in 2017 and have lived in Raleigh since 2022. I am an environmental scientist for the State of North Carolina. I found Civitan in 2023 and have been throughly enjoying this social group with a volunteering problem ever since I joined. In my spare time I enjoy traveling to national parks, exploring local food opportunities, and experience whatever fun activities the Triangle has to offer.

Hi, I’m Katherine, the Civitan Social Chair. I was raised in Eastern NC and graduated from NC State University with a B.S. in Civil Engineering. I currently work in Transportation Engineering with NCDOT. In college I volunteered with various organizations and I wanted to continue to do so post-graduation. I found Civitan in 2021 and it was exactly what I was looking for. I love the balance of volunteer work and social opportunities. Civitan has allowed me to connect with other young professionals in the RDU area while giving back to my community. Outside of my career and Civitan, I love spending time outdoors. I’m an avid runner and also enjoy a host of other activities such as hiking and volleyball.

I joined Civitan in 2023 and was delighted to find a community of like-minded individuals passionate about public service. I moved to Durham in 2021 from Seattle, Washington, where I received an MPA from the University of Washington. I’ve been volunteering for much of my adult life- as a US Peace Corps Volunteer in the Philippines, campaigning for Obama for America, or as a scholarship application reviewer for HBCU students. In my free time, I enjoy making pottery, camping, hiking, and live music.
