ABOUT ME
Who I Am
Hi, I am Meghan Talpash, a typical 24-year-old from sunny Newport Beach, California. I am still on the mission to truly define “who I am”, because every day I am still learning something new. However, here is a little about what makes me, me!
I graduated from Saint Mary’s College in 2015 and received a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. I am forever grateful to have been able to attend such a wonderful institution with the core mission being to empower women.
Sports, all sports, have always been a deep passion for me. Whether I was an athlete on the team or cheering from the stand, during a game is where I find myself to be the happiest. Growing up with a dad as a varsity high school football coach I lived and breathed for those Friday night lights. There is no feeling in the world like standing on the field during a game.
I have an undeniable love for high pony tails, fun sunnies, and a proper cup of coffee.
My faith in the Lord keeps me smiling and pushing through each day.
To me traveling is the most humbling and eye-opening experience.
Aside from enjoying every second of summer, I also enjoy over indulging in my dad’s famous pork ribs and finding new projects to do around the house.
Ever since I was little, I have had this habit of calling the littlest of tasks adventures just to keep life more exciting!
