Megan Eiss is excited to share her legal and non-profit operations and development experience with Ensemble Studio Theatre. She's currently the Senior Director of People and Operations at Transportation Alternatives where she has shepherded leadership change and contributes to a more inclusive organizational culture.

She graduated cum laude from New York Law School in 2005 after teaching 5th grade at PS 166 in the South Bronx with Teach for America. It was in the classroom that she developed an entrepreneurial spirit and began thinking about how business and social good connect. After practicing in family and criminal court, Megan co-founded Safe Passage Project, a legal non-profit that utilizes volunteers to help immigrant children facing deportation. Her professional passion now lies in helping organizations strategize about how to have more impact. She's proud to have used her consulting firm, Heddy Consulting, to help grass-roots organizations to improve operations and raise critical funds to support meaningful work that betters the lives and well-being of New Yorkers.

When she’s not working, Megan is a New York City aficionado. She loves all live performances—especially those in the development stages. She recognizes the power art has to create change and can’t wait to see how Ensemble Studio Theatre and its members will spur New York City towards a brighter future.
