About Meg
I am a first-generation South Asian writer. I come from a family of teachers — my mother, all of my aunties, and my grandmother who taught herself how to read and started a school in her village. In high school, I volunteered at the library program to help ESL kids like myself read books. In college, I worked for Big Brothers Big Sisters and Boys & Girls Club, helping kids with their homework and mentoring. Most recently, I've worked for Minds Over Matter in LA, helping high school kids with their college applications, and privately tutored kids with reading.
I got my start in Chicago as an advertising copywriter where I wrote everything from taglines for Crest toothpaste to dialogue for Michael Bublé in a Super Bowl commercial to jokes for Tim Cook for an iPhone launch. I moonlighted as a stand-up comedian, performing at the Laugh Factory and opening for people like Hasan Minhaj.
During the pandemic, I switched over into writing satire for The New Yorker, Reductress, and The Onion. This eventually led me to getting hired to write for TV for the upcoming show "Bait" on Amazon (it just premiered at Sundance in 2026) and writing my second feature film for Shyam Madiraju. This also landed me with a book deal for The Massie & McQuilkin Literary Agency where I'm writing a book about mental health in immigrant families.
Outside of writing all of the above, I also spent over four years as a research assistant for Harvard Kennedy School on the American criminalization of poverty. This reignited my childhood love for reading and for the last five years, I've had my head buried in history, satire, and political economy.

I cherish working with kids and watching them fall in love with reading and using literature/writing as a form of self-expression, regulation, and identity discovery.
My approach is to start the class with free-writing about their day. This is important to create and sustain their relationship with writing as a form of self-regulation, as a way to discover their own feelings and opinions and curiosities about the world.
Next, I like to do the rudimentary — vocabulary words, homework help, essay prep. By using Google docs virtually or a white board in-person, the student and I will collaborate on an outline for the task at hand, making sure to essentially detail it out so when they sit down to write it, they can hit the ground running.
During the outlining process, I like to put their subject in the context of other creative projects throughout history. Since I come from the background of screenwriting, TV writing, and novel-writing, I engage them with excerpts and clips from classic and international books and films. If their essay is about their family, an excerpt from "Matilda" or a segment from "Up", followed by a discussion wherein we analyze the author's intent and background, will help inspire their own opinions and ideas and help shape their work.
Finally, I have a slew of bizarre, creative prompts to end the sessions with that encourage students to think outside the box and write without judgment.

From the very beginning, Meg was patient, dependable, and fully committed to our children’s academic and personal growth.
Beyond providing excellent tutoring and structured support, Meg became something even more meaningful in our home — a true mentor to my child. They took the time to build trust, understand strengths and challenges, and offer guidance that went far beyond academics. I’ve seen growth not only in learning, but in confidence, maturity, and self-belief. That kind of impact lasts.
Meg creates a calm, encouraging environment where children feel safe, supported, and motivated. Their consistency, compassion, and ability to connect on a deeper level truly set them apart. Any family would be fortunate to have someone with their level of dedication and heart.View more recommendations
