Born and raised in Southern California, Meredith grew up in a smaller rural town of Valley Center which is located in North County San Diego. Living there provided an avenue for her to develop a profound love for raising livestock and feeling connected with those in her community. Meredith joined TERI in 2004 and during that time started a 4-H club for children with disabilities that ran from 2006-2017. She has also started and currently runs a Livestock program through our agriculture department and is currently the Director of Integrated Employment Services and runs the TERI paid Vocational Internship Program, the TERI VIP. Meredith has always felt a connection to those with disabilities and working at TERI where she can combine her passions of animals, leadership, and human connection, has proven to be the perfect career for her.
