Meredith was hooked on standup paddle boarding from the first time she held a paddle in her hands. She became an American Canoe Association L2 certified SUP instructor after taking classes for one summer in her home waters of the Potomac River. Meredith found a way to be on the water as much as possible by becoming an instructor with Potomac Paddlesports. She teaches flat water and race training classes and is regular SUP racer in the mid-Atlantic region. Meredith's close proximity to both the Potomac River and the Atlantic coast gives her ample opportunity to hone her river and ocean surfing skills. In her life off of the water, Meredith has lived in West and Central Africa and is a human rights advocate.
