Megan Brodsky
Megan Brodsky was born in San Jose, CA, and raised in Burien, WA. Her deep interest in history grew from her first university history class about the 1960s in America. From then, her appreciation for learning about United States history has only deepened. Megan is currently a senior at the University of Washington, Seattle, studying Communication. She firmly believes every college student should enroll in at least one history class to understand how we got to where we are today.
