Harvard College 2000 Podcast: Melina McTigue Garland

Harvard College Class of 2000: The Podcast · Mar 5, 2026 · 48m

Eileen talks to the thoughtful, hilarious Melina McTigue Garland about moving back to her hometown of Worcester, MA, her love of music and of words, and starting a flute ensemble, ringing the bells in Lowell Tower and gazing at the rings of Saturn at Harvard. Melina also shares her experience of being diagnosed with ADHD at age 44, finding magic in the everyday, and her life-affirming experience at our 25th reunion. Melina works as an attorney, lived in Matthews and Leverett, and concentrated in English…“but really majored in Band and minored in vodka.”
