Hi. My name is Megan Menchaca, and I'm the higher education reporter for the Austin American-Statesman. 

​

In this role, I cover news about the University of Texas, the UT System and other colleges in the Austin area, in addition to the Texas Legislature.

​

I've previous worked at The Texas Tribune, The Dallas Morning News, the Houston Chronicle and other Texas media outlets. I'm also a proud alumna of the  University of Texas.
