Megan Farmer
Megan earned her degree from Bellarmine University in Vocal Performance but she knew her heart had always resided in the nonprofit industry. Megan began at Barren Heights as an intern and then quickly stepped into the Ministry Coordinator position in June of 2019. Her role primarily consists of processing applications, tracking donations, and event prep. Most importantly, she is the main point of guest communication for the Barren Heights community – when you call the office, this is your girl!
Outside of Barren Heights, Megan continues to sing at her local church and sells personalized embroidery art. She loves to learn, make jokes, complete big projects, create art.
