About
What puts me on Cloud 9? The social buzz around a brand’s latest announcement. The questions following a refreshed content strategy presentation. The final buffering of a brand documentary (mostly so I can get my cursor back from the spinning wheel).
In case it isn’t clear, Meredith is my name and brand marketing is my game. I’ve always been incredibly passionate about consumer brands, how their messages are perceived, and the ways in which people (including myself) engage with them. As a digital creator and strategist, I’m constantly drumming up new ways to develop strong, compelling content that people actually care about.
Check out my portfolio, read over the resume, and let me know if you have questions.

As soon as I walked through the doors of Edelman, I knew I was going to work there. Upon graduating from UMD back in 2017, that’s exactly what I did. During my tenure, I was the head content strategist for Hilton and eBay’s corporate channels. I was also the day-to-day social SME and main campaign planner. Not only that, I built up my skills around executive positioning for each company’s CEO.
Overall, my Edelman experience sparked my interest in consumer marketing, so I transitioned to Optoro as the marketing lead for BLINQ, their D2C brand that sold returned and overstock items from larger retailers. Once the pandemic hit, I pivoted to work on Optoro corporate marketing and dip my toes into B2B under Optoro’s proprietary wholesale brand, BULQ.
When an opportunity arose to tackle a new industry on a growing social media team, I jumped at the chance to join. At Fannie Mae, I’ve been able to work with former Edelman colleagues again, grow my paid social muscles, and enhance my project management capabilities within the housing and financial services space.
Now I’m looking to flex the skills I’ve gained across these areas and help a new brand come to life. Will it be yours?

I’m a MD girl currently residing in VA and working in DC. I come from a huge family, chalk full of UMD alumni (Go Terps!). When I’m not out shopping, making digital portraits, or binge-watching The Great British Baking Show, I’m usually grabbing a cup of coffee or a drink with friends. One day I’ll be able to add dog mom to my resume, but not quite yet. I’m traveling to London and Paris twice this summer — please send recommendations!

My first job was as a barista on my college campus (Footnote’s at McKeldin Library will always have a special place in my heart). My name is in a NYT bestseller - this one to be exact. Donuts and coffee are integral parts of my life. My 5-9 after my 9-5 is a consignment business where I sell clothes for friends, family, and influencers on Poshmark, eBay, and Curtsy.
