Megan Murphy, M.S., has enjoyed working with children throughout her life. She first worked in early childhood education over eight years ago as a substitute teacher and has since held multiple positions in the field, most recently being a lead Preschool/Pre-K teacher. Her experience in the classroom, as well as her undergraduate degree in Psychology, inspired her to pursue further education in Child Development and to learn how events in these early years can impact an individual.

After receiving her Master of Science in Child Development at the University of La Verne, she began working in higher education as an Adjunct Professor. She is very excited to be working with Parenting Now as a trainer.
