Prior to joining Counsel, Meera worked with not-for-profit organizations and educational institutions at the national and international level.

During her tenure, Meera expanded her understanding of stakeholder outreach by working with Girl Up Canada’s National Team to build relationships with their municipal and provincial cohorts to deliver the organization’s gender equity mandate and develop its presence within Canada during its inaugural year.
