Megan Abrigo (born January 27, 1988) is a true island girl who is making some big waves in Los Angeles!

By the age of 15, modeling was a part-time hobby that quickly became a passion for Abrigo.
Career[]
It was tough, but modeling was put on hold when she moved to California to attended college at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. After graduating in May 2005 with a bachelor's degree in studio arts emphasizing computer science, Abrigo began to pursue her dream of modeling full-time.
It didn't take long for people to notice this natural exotic beauty and within a few months, she got the various print, runway, commercial, and hosting positions. All this led to Abrigo becoming one of the original case models on Deal or No Deal. Since the beginning of her career, Abrigo has been a part of NBC's number one game show which has been going on for four seasons until it's cancellation in 2009. Abrigo has held case #6 on every episode since the pilot of the show.
Abrigo has also hosted an extreme sports show called "Dialed in", where she got interview riders and also tried the sport herself. Abrigo has been in People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People in May 2006 with the rest of the DOND models and has posed for Maxim magazine, Boost Mobile, Old Navy, Fitness magazine, Allure magazine, and others. Abrigo has also recently filmed commercials for Spike TV, LA Inc., L'Oreal, and Cover Girl.
Abrigo aims to keep acting full time and to cultivate her passion for traveling and adventure - whether through work or pleasure. Abrigo could not have gotten to where she is if it weren't for the people in her life. Abrigo wants to thank her mom, dad, and Jay for always being there for her, Aloha!
