Meredith Waugh
Writer based in Brooklyn, NY
Hi there! Allow me to introduce myself.
I am an enthusiastic writer who excells at administrative work. Over the years, I’ve taken on various creative and collaborative roles in film production, event coordination, and experimental media.
I am most satisfied with my work when I can plan and execute a months-long project with a dynamic and close-knit team.
The best way to get to know me is through what I write.
