About Megan Ellis
Megan is a Lead Section Editor at MakeUseOf. In 2016, she decided to unite her postgraduate degree in Journalism and New Media and lifetime of geekiness to pursue a career in tech and gaming journalism. From early memories of typing on her dad's Windows 95 PC to learning basic HTML for the sole purpose of customizing her MySpace page, she has loved technology for as long as she can remember.
You can usually find Megan writing about gaming, Android devices, consumer technology, and social media platforms; or drooling over new gadgets. She runs her own blog called Tech Valkyrie and has bylines in Popular Mechanics South Africa, TFG Tech Mag, Memeburn, and Gearburn. She also worked as the Editor-in-Chief for Memeburn and Gearburn from 2020 to 2022.
