Before returning to school to earn her M.S.W., Megan Ronnenberg worked in a number of social work-related positions, including field organizing for political campaigns, volunteer coordinating for non-profits, and teaching in a daycare center. As an early childhood educator, she saw firsthand how caregivers and teachers can impact child development. She would like to contribute research to the early childhood field to help agencies and caregivers be more aware and responsive to the needs and barriers faced by marginalized children and families.
