a Laboratory Outreach Intern at the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services where
she engaged in science education at science fairs and classrooms across the community.
Meredith was also the recipient of the John K Welch, Lori Ann Swantko-Neer, Leroy G

At Toledo, she taught pathology lectures to pre-clinical students, and frequently worked with
clerkship students on their pathology elective. During the pandemic, she co-established the
Michigan State University CHM-COM Pathology Interest Group to create a community between
allopathic and osteopathic schools. She is currently President of this group and continues to
help create in-person and virtual events to educate students about pathology alongside her
colleagues.
