From Husky to Influencer: Meredith Louise Returns to Bloomsburg

It’s been a few years since she last stepped foot on campus, but this time, she returned in a whole new way. Meredith Louise ’19 shared her journey, her story, and a bit of her signature “internet best friend” energy with current students as a special guest speaker for the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) in October.

Meredith shared how she transformed the lessons she learned at Bloomsburg into a career built on creativity, confidence, and connection. Today, she’s known to more than 840,000 followers across platforms as “your go-to internet best friend girly,” a TikTok creator whose humor, authenticity, and warmth have made her a standout voice in the digital world.

At Bloomsburg, Meredith majored in supply chain management with a minor in information technology, made it a point to get involved and take every opportunity — from workshops and résumé-building sessions to ZIPD networking events. “No matter where you end up, the skills you’ll learn are valuable and transferable,” she said — a lesson that still rings true as she balances her full-time 9-to-5 and being a full-time content creator.

Students asked everything from strategy tips and creative inspiration to how she stays motivated and what advice she’d give to aspiring creators. One message particularly struck a chord: “If you’re putting yourself out there authentically, people may not like you — it happens. Don’t water yourself down for them. Find your community.”

Meredith’s advice to people who wish to begin a content-creation journey was simple but powerful: stay consistent. Even when growth feels slow or uncertain, she emphasized that authenticity and consistency are what truly builds trust — and an audience.

Looking ahead, Meredith shows no signs of slowing down. She plans to continue sharing cozy, real-life content — from recipes and daily routines with her husband to moments of laughter, self-care, and connection. She’s also expanding her creative reach across multiple platforms, continuing to build a space where her followers feel seen, supported, and connected.

Natalie Miller, president of Bloomsburg’s FBLA chapter, shared that inviting Meredith back to campus felt like the perfect fit — giving students the chance to learn not just how to break into this field, but what it’s really like once you’re in it.
