Andrea Garber, PhD, RD

As the Project Manager for our National Science Foundation-funded nutrition policy study, Meredith oversaw all of the data collection, site visits and a staff of 10 research assistants. She is efficient, enthusiastic, organized and trustworthy. One of her most outstanding attributes is her creativity. She works independently and thinks critically. She is personable, professional, and a joy to work with. I would hire her again without hesitation.
