“Some people just have “it” and that’s Meredith when it comes to writing. She has a true gift for putting words together that people actually want to read, whether in an email, a social media post, or a long form blog article. Meredith has been my go-to writer since 2016 where we have worked together on marketing teams at both WSU and Emsi. Apart from her overall writing talents, she brings creative ideas, has a steadfast passion towards projects, has a keen editing eye, and keeps a pulse on how to best connect with customers. She can also do more than write—with well-rounded experiences in PR, video production, marketing strategy, social media management, and photography. Meredith would be an asset to any team, and she earns my highest recommendation.”
