About Me

Joined MetroHealth: 2019

I am a Nurse Practitioner here at MetroHealth with a focus in obesity medicine.

I graduated with my master's in nursing in 2015 from The University of Akron which is where I got my Doctor in Nursing in 2022. I worked in primary care for four years while I got my certification in Obesity Medicine through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.

From there I came to MetroHealth to join the excellent Obesity Medicine Team and have been here since 2019. I also achieved my MBA in 2024 as I have taken on leadership roles here at Metro as well as my role at The University of Akron.

I have a passion for helping people who suffer from the chronic disease of obesity due to my own struggle with excess weight along with several of my immediate family members personal struggles with obesity. I understand the weight that obesity carries mentally and physically and that it is not a character flaw disease, but rather a metabolic dysfunction.

I strive to look at each individual person as a whole and listen to their story and come up with an individual game plan that will help them be successful.

I saw this provider on the heels of having a very negative experience with another provider. Needless to say, I was anxious about this appointment and scared I would have a similar negative experience. That was not the case. I had an amazing appointment. I felt like I was seen and heard. My medical history was reviewed before I came in and she addressed all my concerns and more importantly, she validated them. Together we mapped out a care plan that I think is sustainable and will provide me with the preventative care that I was seeking. I look forward to visiting with this provider again in the future.

Meredith has been an incredible source of support throughout my weight-loss journey. She always listens to my concerns, validates my feelings, and makes me feel truly understood. For years, I blamed myself for being overweight and struggling to lose weight, but Meredith helped me understand that I was not failing. She explained how GLP-1 medication works and how it can help someone like me who experiences extreme food noise. For the past two and a half years, Meredith has been by my side every step of the way. Her guidance has gone far beyond medication. She has provided valuable advice about nutrition, strength training, and creating healthy, sustainable habits. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, encouraging, and always available through Messenger whenever I have a question or need reassurance. Meredith is a truly exceptional provider, and I am incredibly grateful for the difference she has made in my health, confidence, and life.
