Meredith graduated from the UVM undergraduate nursing program in 2008, where she was especially inspired by her international study experiences and courses in childbearing and newborn health. After graduating, Meredith worked as a RN in Labor and Delivery, Postpartum, and student health at a small college in Vermont. During her career as a nurse Meredith also spent time living and working clinically in Haiti. She graduated from Frontier Nursing University in 2014 with her Master of Science in Nursing and became a board Certified Nurse-Midwife. Her work as a Nurse-Midwife has included full scope practice caring for clients across the lifespan in both a small community hospital setting and a large academic medical center. She was inspired to explore mindfulness as a tool for resiliency while working in such a challenging profession and she began teaching Mindfulness Based Skills classes for pregnancy in 2021. She recently had the opportunity to work on and support a research project looking at mental health screening in pregnancy and postpartum. She has always enjoyed engaging with students and began teaching at UVM in the undergraduate program in 2023.
