Megias is a South Florida native, and graduated from Florida State University in 2014 with a bachelor’s degree in women studies. Upon graduating, she returned to Miami to a complete a year as a corps member with City Year, an Americorps program that trains young adults to work alongside staff at low-performing schools to improve student attendance, behavior and coursework.
