Josh Begler

My name is Josh (they/he) and I am from the North Hills of Pittsburgh. Besides working as a virtual assistant at The Passion Lab, I am pursuing my B.S. in Psychology and a minor in Law, Criminal Justice, and Society at the University of Pittsburgh. In the future, I intend to earn my Masters in Social Work in order to pursue a career where I can help provide resources and support for others to better their lives. In my free time, I am a plant and cat parent who enjoys crocheting, writing, and trying to learn piano.

The Zoo Crew

Sofia
Sofia was born near Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. As the oldest staff member, Sofia has been around for many iterations of Meagan’s career paths. A foodie at heart, Sofia’s favorite food experiences include eating bugs, vacuuming the kitchen floor, and waiting for someone to leave food unattended.

Lana
Lanabird "Lana" Banks was born in Athens, GA. Being from the South, Lana loves laying in the sunshine and staying warm. During the colder months, you may find her wrapped in a blanket on the office couch or cleverly creating a blanket fort to lay under. Her other hobbies include lording over the household from high places.

Ah Hua
Ah Hua was born in Taoyuan District, Taiwan, and moved to the U.S. in 2021. Ah Hua first met Meagan in 2018 when Meagan moved to Taiwan and they became neighbors. They’ve been best friends ever since. Ah Hua enjoys very long walks, jumping on logs, and getting treats from the mail lady. You may hear her snoring or pitter-pattering when it's close to dinnertime.

Sully
The newest member of the Zoo Crew, Sullivan “Sully” was born and raised in Pittsburgh. Being significantly younger than the other staff, Sully does her best to hold her own by being a spunky little menace. Her hobbies include spending long parts of the day staring at water, playing with water and spilling water.

In all seriousness,

Since I work from home as a telehealth therapist, my pets often appear in some capacity. Please let me know if having animals around is too distracting during sessions. I will be more than happy to keep them out of the office for our session.
