Meredith, a New York native recently moved to the South Florida area and is extremely excited to be a part of the Kol Tikvah family.  Meredith spent her high school career as an active member of her synagogue youth group serving as a grade representative, Publicity Vice President, Programming Vice President and President as a senior in high school.

In 2000, Meredith was chosen for her enthusiasm and proven leadership ability as one of six Jewish teenagers from the New York area to participate in an interfaith understanding trip to Israel with six Catholic teenagers, a Rabbi and a Priest. Meredith spent her summers at Eisner Camp in the Berkshires and also was an active member of NFTY Long Island.

Upon completing her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2005, Meredith moved to New York City to pursue a career in event planning.  She worked for over three years for a prestigious Manhattan catering firm.  After realizing her passion for Judaism and Jewish Youth, Meredith helped to organize and advise retreats for a Synagogue in New Jersey.  It was while doing this that she decided to take some time away from the event planning world, spend a month in Israel and explore her passion for Judaism. 

Meredith is currently working on her applications for Master’s degree programs and looks forward to being a part of the Kol Tikvah community.
