BIO:
They call the wind "Meriah." The oldest of three children, Meriah
Nelson was
named after that song. Like the wind, she is strong, spirited, and free.
Raised in Upland, California, Meriah remembers being extremely shy growing
up, contrary to her out-going attitude today. She describes herself as
being
feminine, but not a sissy. "I loved wearing dresses and pretending
I was a
princess. I also climbed trees, played softball, and even had a tool kit."
Usually too shy for boys, Meriah was in love with horses. One of her big
dreams as a little girl was to compete in the Olympics in Equestrian,
just
like International Velvet. She is still a big dreamer.
The shy girl became interested in modeling while attending a John Robert
Powers modeling school at age 14. The classes, which were originally
intended to help conquer her timid ways, sparked a new interest. By the
time
she was 18, Meriah had an agent and did her best to juggle college and
modeling. College had always been a must for Meriah.
While touring college campuses, Meriah instantly fell in love with the
University of California at Santa Barbara. She just had to get out of
Upland
and UCSB was her type of place! "I always wanted to live on the beach.
I
studied hard and played hard too!" This big party school did not
stop Meriah
from graduating in four years with a 3.2 grade point average. She got
her
Bachelor's of Arts degree in Communication and a minor in Health Science
and
Exercise.
Always health conscious, Meriah is serious about taking care of her body
and
mind. She works out 4 days a week, religiously. She loves cardio-kickboxing,
jogging on "The Strand" at Hermosa Beach, and yoga class. "I
always eat
really healthy food first and then I don't feel so guilty when I
occasionally pig out.
Meriah moved to Redondo Beach, California. "I knew I would need
to be near
Los Angeles for what I wanted to do, but I need the beach too- South Bay
is
the perfect place for me now." Meriah worked as a TV extra until
earning her
S.A.G. card and continues going to castings and photo shoots. With a B.A.
in
Communication and experience in the modeling and media world, Meriah feels
she would be excellent at hosting a TV or cable show." Meriah will
pursue
this goal for the future while continuing to model and appear on film
and
commercials. She also believes she may still end up in the beauty or fitness
world or even own her own business. "Later on down the road I may
want to
own a fitness/day spa, I'm into that stuff." Traveling is definitely
in her
future as well.
Today, Meriah Nelson (the Scorpio) describes herself as independent,
determined, passionate, emotional, intense, and adventurous. She says
she
has an "all or nothing" tendency. "I either want to be
working seriously or
having the greatest time ever. Sometimes I want to be alone and other
times,
I have to be around everyone. I will be dressed to kill one day and the
next
day I look like a beach bum. I have very extreme behaviors and it is
difficult for people to truly figure me out."
Meriah has also been called a "free-spirit" on more than one
occasion. This
may have to do with her quest for adventure, her curiosity, and thrill
for
life. Meriah Nelson is happy to be alive and looks forward to making the
most of every chapter in her life.
