About · 黄嘉昕 (Huáng Jiāxīn)
Hi, I’m Megan (黄嘉昕)—a 25-year-old originally from Toronto, Ontario, currently splitting life and work between Boston and San Francisco.
I moved to Montreal for four wonderful, snow-globe winters at McGill University, where I completed my BSc Honours in Pharmacology & Therapeutics. After graduating, I spent three years in healthcare and life sciences strategy consulting at Alira Health before joining the Medical Devices & Technologies team at BCG.
Most of my weekdays live at the intersection of clinical science, medical technology, and strategy. Outside of work, I’m happiest clipped into a road bike before sunrise, simmering a pot of braised pork belly for friends, throwing stoneware clay, or carrying a camera up a ridge. I built this corner of the internet to hold the in-between moments—in a slower, longer format than a fleeting feed allows.
Three Threads
Movement was my first language: I spent 14+ years in competitive dance while spending summers camping and paddling cedar-lined lakes across Ontario’s provincial parks.
Over the years that discipline spilled outdoors into distance running, road and gravel cycling, strength training and CrossFit, yoga, open-water swimming, winter ski days, surfing warm point breaks, and the occasional very humble round of golf.
I grew up in a Chinese household where dinner was an event and dishes almost never repeated—my mom is a genuine kitchen legend.
Having endlessly curious parents meant growing up surrounded by global spices, fermented condiments, and unfamiliar produce. Today my favorite ritual is hunting down well-made kitchen tools and crowding too many friends around a small apartment table.
My dad has always collected cameras, drones, and backyard telescopes—the kind of person who pulls the car over just because Jupiter is clear or the clouds look dramatic.
That habit rubbed off early. Carrying a small camera lets me keep tactile visual mementos of the people and places I love alongside the stories behind them.
