Meghan Adams was born in Bethesda, Maryland but grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. Her grandmother and grandfather were from counties Mayo and Roscommon and emigrated to America as young adults. "Ever since I can remember, my Irish heritage has been a prominent part of my life," she says.
A graduate in Statistics, Marketing, and Information Systems from Loyola University Chicago, she has travelled extensively and had the opportunity to visit ten countries as part of a college programme called Semester at Sea. One of her favourite memories is teaching Irish dancing to children in Myanmar.
"I also enjoy new adventures, some of which have included shaving off my hair while passing the equator and running the 2016 Chicago Marathon while raising $1,000 for Make-A-Wish."
