Career
She is a former GMA Network talent. She is the first StarStruck star ever to transfer to GMA's rival station, ABS-CBN, in a bid to change her image from a villain to a "nice girl".
Megan Young's first big showbiz break was with the talent reality search Star Struck. Her talent and personality landed her in the show's top six. But despite her good finish, Megan's acting career never took off. Projects came to her in trickles. Often she would be typecast as the antagonist, the bitch, the bad girl, something she found unpleasant.
She soon moved to ABS-CBN following her sister, Lauren Young, who was part of Star Magic Star Circle 13.
In 2009 she was one of four chosen to be a new Video Jockey for the relaunching of Channel [V] Philippines.
Megan attended Trinity University of Asia School in Quezon City, a middle competency university with fellow actors Ahron Villena, Kris Bernal, Alfred Navarro, Che Tolentino, Charles Christianson, Kontin Roque, Sophia Montecarlo, Erich Gonzales, Alvin Aragon Marco Aytona, Eslove Briones, Shey Bustamante, and Joe Vargas. And, she is now studying Digital Film Making at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde.
