Bio:
She comes from a small town in northern New Hampshire, Rumney to be exact. There are 1400 people on a good day. It has two blinking traffic lights, two and a half restaurants and three part time police officers.

Boston is now the place she calls home, and boy, does she love that dirty water. The Red Sox are a major part of her life, don't bother her on game night. She spent opening day on the field with the red carpet and some players (ask about it sometime). Don't worry too much though, because she also devotes her Sunday afternoons or evenings (some Mondays too) to the Patriots.

When she is not watching her favorite sports teams, she is presiding over the knitting club (that's right: knitting). On Wednesday afternoons, she will be teaching an afternoon knitting class to third through fifth graders at a local elementary school. In addition to knitting, she also flaunts her elderly woman skills by baking bread or cookies and making jam. There may also be a sewing machine under her bed.

She is currently employed by Boston University Medical Campus as an administrative assistant in the section of endocrinology, diabetes and nutrition. To make extra cash (to pay off the Vespa she felt it necessary to buy in October of last year) she also works some nights and weekends at the Campus Convenience at the GSU. You should visit her sometime. Her tentative future plans are to go to graduate school and get her Master's degree in Public Health. We will have to see how long that plan lasts. Well, there is much more to say, but words are running out. Good luck with school, and you should join the knitting club.

As the Chair of the Residence Life Committee, Meredith hopes to improve the quality of life on campus for all students. Stop by the meetings sometime if you have any questions or concerns. She loves to hear from you!
