Meredith Vierra is in her second year as a Business major, a path she didn’t initially envision but was encouraged to pursue by her parents who knew it would give her both a safety net and the tools to one day run her own business. Meredith’s true passion lies in the beauty and cosmetic industry, where she already shines as a certified laser hair removal technician. Her dream is to become an esthetician and eventually open her own suite offering facials, chemical peels, hydra facials, and botox. Vierra earned certifications in laser hair removal, body contouring, IPL/skin rejuvenation, microdermabrasion, and microneedling, showing her commitment to growing in her field.

Born and raised in Pasadena, Texas, Vierra is a proud Mexican who treasures family, good food, and her roots. At just 19, she’s already carved a unique path for herself. Vierra has one older brother and is the kind of person who lights up around family gatherings, especially if there’s a seafood boil or homemade Mexican dishes involved. Outside of work, she loves hitting the gym, pampering herself with fresh nails, and spending time around cars—a passion sparked by growing up with cousins who were all about engines and speed. In fact, Vierra didn’t just develop an interest; she went a step further by earning an associate's degree in automotive technology while still in high school. Warm, driven, and full of personality, Vierra is on a mission to turn her dreams into reality while staying true to the things that matter most to her.
