About Meryl
She/Her
Meryl Hathaway leads everything she does with joy, humor and a passion to help others. As a graduate of The Ohio State University with a BA in communications, and 18 years as a professional actress, she is currently pursuing her masters in clinical psychology at Antioch University Los Angeles to become a licensed marriage and family therapist. She is a Nationally Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, as well as a Certified Pain Management Coach.
As an actress Meryl is perhaps best known as playing Brittany, Eleanor's roommate, in Mike Schur’s hit "The Good Place", as Andie Tate in the return of HBO's iconic "The Comeback" opposite Lisa Kudrow, and as Tovah Freedman on Season 18 of “Grey’s Anatomy”. She has performed live improv and scripted comedy alongside Steve Carrell, Eliza Dushku, Alan Tudyk, Rob Delaney, Michael Ian Black, Andy Buckley, Shaquille O’Neil, Mayim Bialik and more. She also guest starred on many comedy and drama network shows, including "This Is Us", "9-1-1", "For the People", "2 Broke Girls", "Bunk'd" and others, notably recurring as Millie in Cody Heller and Brett Konner’s "Deadbeat" on Hulu. She has also appeared in over 75 national commercials, videos for Funny or Die, College Humor and UCB Comedy.
As a creator Meryl wrote and produced several web series projects, in addition to my SAG short film, "It's Your Call" opposite friend Tyler Labine (New Amsterdam, Reaper, Dirk Gently, Deadbeat), which now has over 398,000 views on Omeletto’s YouTube channel, and was selected for the Oscar qualifying Palm Springs ShortFest and Hollyshorts festivals in 2019. She then took my creative energy to the podcast space, independently producing and hosting a variety of shows; from TV show breakdowns (“Button Pushers”) to branded interviews on the entrepreneurial journey (“MarketPlay”) to authentic conversations around medical issues (“The Lemon Grove Podcast”).
She is also an artist, greeting card designer (More at www.LemonGroveWellness.com ), writer, teacher, painter, an avid nature lover, roller skater and allergic to every tree and grass out there.
