About Megan
Founder of Camel Corps
Megan founded CamelGuard with a mission to make parenting easier through thoughtful, parent-focused products. With her own experiences of managing infant reflux and messy moments with her babies, she saw a gap in functional, stylish solutions for parents. Leveraging her PhD expertise, she collected data on infant reflux, interviewed parents, and created innovative products designed to address the challenges parents face with clothing and accessories while caring for young children.
When Megan isn't immersed in research or product development, she enjoys spending time outdoors, hiking the Sourland Mountains with her family, or tending to her garden.
The Spark Behind CamelGuard
The idea for CamelGuard came from a conversation between Megan and her older daughter after the arrival of her baby son, who suffered from frequent reflux. Megan quickly realized that traditional burp cloths were impractical—too small, not absorbent enough, and often clashing with outfits. This frustration inspired her to design a more functional and attractive solution. Megan’s innovative idea led to CamelGuard, a stylish, wearable cover that shields parents from baby messes while being soft, breathable, and fashionable enough for any occasion.
Megan's passion for infant health goes back to her college years when she volunteered in orphanages abroad, caring for abandoned infants and toddlers. This experience deepened her interest in child welfare, and she spent years researching the intersection of trafficking and international adoption. Her academic work has been recognized by Glamour Magazine, USA Today, and was supported by the Circumnavigators’ Foundation. Megan's journey continued through her graduate studies in London, Oxford, and Princeton, where she balanced professional responsibilities with being a hands-on mother. Her dedication to improving maternal health culminated in the creation of CamelGuard, supported by the National Science Foundation’s I-Corps program. Megan published a piece with that speaks a little closer to the postpartum challenges woman experience after having children. Read more.
