Quick Facts

  • She is a certified yoga teacher with additional certifications for Pre- and post-natal yoga and restorative yoga.
  • She lived in Italy for about two years as a graduate student.
  • After living south of the Mason Dixon line for nearly 20 years, the word "y'all" has a special place in her heart (and her vocabulary!)

Before joining the Development team at the JCC, Meredith spent her career in higher education, first as an art historian and then as a fellowships advisor. As a fellowships advisor, she had the privilege to help students expand their dreams and to empower them to tell their stories. Long before all of that, Meredith grew up here at the Kaplen JCC, graduating from the ECC, performing in theater productions, taking swim lessons, and even working at the NKSC! Despite a long hiatus in the South, Meredith feels more at home here than anywhere else. When she’s not at work, Meredith can be found cheering on her kids at soccer or in taekwondo, or curled up on her favorite couch reading a book.
