Megan Bushell | Source | Co-Founder & CEO at DEFY

I earned an MBA from Pepperdine University, as well as dual Bachelor’s degrees from Wichita State University in Entrepreneurship and Music Business. In a prior life as a professional singer, I was in two bands, performed across the country and on TV for over 10 million people, and released a solo EP on iTunes. To round out the eclectic oddity of my background, I was Miss Kansas 2004, a Top Ten Finalist at Miss America 2005, and received a Presidential Service Award for my advocacy work with domestic violence prevention. A perpetual work in progress, I believe in servant leadership and continuous quality improvement, personally and professionally.
