Today we’d like to introduce you to Meg Haywood Sullivan.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Meg. So, let’s start at the beginning, and we can move on from there.
My entire life I have been a lover of our environment. My folks raised me to appreciate the gifts that mother nature gave me while being the best steward of the planet that I can possibly be. I’m a surfer, snowboarder, rock climber, and activist, yet I realize that the outdoor spaces I adore are running out of time.
The clock is ticking, and I’m fed up just like the rest of you. As a member of the Explorers Club with over a decade’s worth of experience in the ever male-dominated environmental & photography worlds, I have dedicated my life to telling stories about our planet and how – together – we can save it.
What is your biggest career goal?
To make a lasting impact on this planet there needs to be solutions that come from the bottom up, and the top down.
Whether it be from encouraging my 31K followers on Instagram to get involved with their local communities, or helping push for important legislation to ban single-use plastics with non-profits like Surfrider Foundation, the impact of my work can be seen in the greater movement of modern-day environmentalism.
It’s imperative to highlight the progress we have made a species, which is why I partner with brands and organizations to celebrate stories of hope. I can feel the momentum.
We’d love to hear more about what you do.
As a female photographer & environmentalist, my career has taken me from shooting a feature with National Geographic Adventure about the last remaining glacier in Yosemite to documenting the at-risk California National Monuments. With my degree in Environmental Studies and experience as an outdoor photographer, I am constantly working on projects that inspire the public to care about the planet, while activating a whole new generation of environmentalists, stewards, and voters.
Meg is currently a global ambassador for the Surfrider Foundation, an ambassador for Protect Our Winters, and an ambassador for Conservation International.
