Meredith is a freelance photojournalist and visuals editor.
Previously, she was an editor at The New York Times. She also spent nearly ten years at NPR, where she produced award-winning science stories through visual reporting, animation, photography and video. She reported from Hong Kong at the start of the pandemic, photographed the first patient to receive an experimental CRISPR treatment for sickle cell disease and covered post-wildfire recovery from California to Australia. As a producer, she worked on science explainer videos on the physics of bullets to how long you can be contagious with the flu. As an editor, she helped build NPR’s diverse freelancer community and launched the site’s first long-form comics. Her interest in experimental storytelling led to the creation of visual interactives, including NPR’s Joy Generator, which was recognized with an Edward R. Murrow award for innovation in 2022.
Meredith holds an MFA in new media photojournalism from Corcoran College of Art + Design and a degree in photography from Wolverhampton University in the U.K. In 2024, she returned to the Corcoran as an adjunct professor in video.
Prior to her life in journalism, Meredith photographed artifacts at the Library of Congress, contributing to a public archive of more than 150,000 images over four years.
