Megan Roach
Assistant Counsel | 4 Years
Megan comes from a big family, so she is

Mexican restaurants in town with her
friends, or cheering on the Cincin-
nati Reds or Xavier Musketeers with her
family. She loves the Carolinas, roots for
Wake Forest basketball (Go Deacs!), and
thinks Cincinnati is just about perfect, if
only we had a beach. Ethics
