She is an undergraduate student studying Product Design and Manufacturing Engineering with a minor in Mathematics and Marketing. She is also a member of the Frederik Meijer Honors College. Meredith is originally from Warren, MI, and now lives in Allendale, MI throughout the school year.


In her freshman year at Grand Valley, Meredith took a course through the Honors College called “Design Thinking for Social Product Innovation.” This is where she first got inspired by design thinking, as well as discovering the University Innovation Fellows program.

She participates in intramural sports, plays the ukulele, is the vice president for Social Innovation Cub, and is involved in Campus Ministry on Grand Valley’s campus.
