Phyllis Ada Diller was an American actress, comedian, author, musician, and visual artist who was known for her eccentric stage persona and self-deprecating humor. One of the first female stand-up comics, Diller was a major influence in her time. Her act featured wild hair and clothing, an exaggerated cackle, and zany personality. Diller's talents extended beyond comedy, as she could also sing, paint, play the piano, and act.

Maegan is an editor and French translator by profession. Both of these positions allow her to work with writers, artists, nonprofits, and businesses worldwide. Her work combines two passions: helping people build relationships through communication and learning new things.

Maegan moved to NYC in 2011 for the Publishing and Digital Media program at NYU. She was excited to discover an online community center for older adults--something she had longed to see in her home city of Montreal while working for HelpAge Canada. She has been leading VSC classes ever since and cherishes the bond she shares with the participants over women leaders throughout history and their influence on our lives today. She loves to spend time in nature and has two small dogs, Cindy and Tucker (who sometimes pop in on classes!)
