Megan Gray is an arts and culture reporter at the Portland Press Herald. A Midwest native, she moved to Maine in 2016. She has written about presidential politics and local government, jury trials and jails. Her current beat is her favorite yet, and she loves the stories that take her to behind the scenes to an artist studio or theater backstage. Outside of work, she likes to explore Maine’s hiking trails and coastal islands with her husband, and she definitely wants to pet your dog.
