Featured Speaker: Megan

Megan Simmons is the Academic Coordinator and Instructor at Metanoia Manor, one of New Day for Children’s partner programs. Located in South Louisiana, Metanoia Manor serves girls recovering from the trauma of sex trafficking, offering them a safe space to heal and rebuild their lives.

As a Certified Trauma and Resilience Specialist in Education (CTRS-E), Megan works to create strong, supportive learning environments for vulnerable youth, driven by a passion for helping each child reclaim their identity and purpose. 
Megan’s passion for her students is evident as she explains, “Through education, students gain the power to reclaim their identities and rise above those who have attempted to degrade and devalue them. Their academic pursuits and successes are living proof that their worth is theirs to own and that they are much more than victims of their past.”

Megan also deeply values the partnership between Metanoia Manor and New Day for Children, saying, “NDC has given hope to our students for a bright future that is uniquely theirs. Working towards the rehabilitation and empowerment of children who have faced exploitation is not a solo mission, and NDC offers a lifeline to survivors and the facilities serving their needs.”

Known for her big heart and unwavering dedication, Megan is deeply committed to helping her students thrive. In her personal time, she enjoys spending time with her fiancé and their beloved Goldendoodle.
