Prior to joining Klasko Immigration, Megan was the managing partner of an immigration law firm in western Massachusetts, where she represented individuals, businesses, nonprofits, and institutions of higher education. She also oversaw the firm’s removal defense and humanitarian relief team.
In 2024-2025, Megan also served as an Appellate Immigration Judge with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) in Falls Church, VA, where she reviewed decisions of immigration judges from around the country, primarily on questions related to asylum and other humanitarian relief.
She is a fellow at Cornell Law School and a senior attorney on their Path2Papers project, which focuses on finding long-term immigration pathways for DACA holders.
Megan’s interest in immigration law sparked in 2004, while she was still in law school. She had lived in Spain and Cambodia, where she taught English as a foreign language, and she continued to teach English to immigrant communities in Massachusetts in the evenings while studying law and international relations during the day. The relationships she formed in her classes exposed her to the need for immigration lawyers in the community. Since then, she has dedicated her career exclusively to immigration law for over 20 years.
Megan has spoken at local and national panels on various immigration-related issues and has given presentations to foreign students about their immigration options at college campuses across the Northeast. She has taught immigration law courses at Tufts University and Western New England School of Law, and guest lectured at Smith College and UMass Amherst. She won a New England Pro Bono Champion award for work on the border when family detention began in 2014-2015.
Megan earned her law degree at Boston University, with a concentration in international law. She also holds a Master of International Relations from Boston University and a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service from Georgetown University. She is admitted to practice in Massachusetts, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and the district courts of Massachusetts and Connecticut. She enjoys hiking and riding motorcycles, and has a private pilot’s license. She is fluent in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, and is currently studying Farsi.
