Born on August 30, 1981 at Carroll, Iowa, Megan was the daughter of Dean and Cindy (Nieland) Gramowski. She attended Christ the King School in Breda and graduated from Kuemper Catholic High School in 1999. Megan continued her education at the University of Northern Iowa where she received an Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Development. While is college, she had the privilege to tour the world with Camp Adventure. She also became lifelong friends with the Roth girls. These experiences led Megan to student teach in Germany. Her love of travel took her to Egypt for her first year of teaching after college. She then returned home to teach in Iowa and Nebraska. Megan spent several years in the Kansas City area being a nanny but her love for children and teaching brought her back to Omaha where she was currently working for Children's Square and Lewis Central School District. Megan had a passion for the Iowa Hawkeyes. She was always there for her family and friends, especially Laura and Amy Jo and their children. Her smile was priceless.
