Meagan Poole's bio

By day, Meagan is completing her studies at Durham College in the PR & Strategic Communications program. By night, she loves spending time with her friends and family. She loves every opportunity to go to a concert, and when she can’t be there live, she has music constantly blaring through her headphones.

This passionate, Halloween-loving Leo loves to stay in the know about anything and everything music and pop culture. And when she’s not busy with school, work, family, and friends, she’s cuddling up with her cat, Delaney.

What will you find in her mug? A coffee mocha, a perfect blend of coffee and hot chocolate.
