Meera currently resides in Houston, Texas, with her dog and three cats, all girls, all rescues, and all spoiled! She attended the University of Texas at Austin, earning a degree in broadcast journalism. While in college, she began her broadcasting career working for a local radio station. She eventually made her way into television, working as an anchor, reporter, and host. Her love for animals began at a young age, and as an adult, she made sure to give them a voice in her media work. In 2008, Meera took a break from mainstream media to follow her passion and became a media spokesperson for a local animal shelter. During this time, she witnessed some of the most horrific animal cruelty rescues and was also responsible for helping many mistreated animals find loving homes or sanctuaries. Her favorite memory is traveling from Houston to Romania to document the transport of an abused brown bear named Betsy to her forever home, the Libearty Bear Sanctuary. Meera loves to give animals a second chance at life through fostering, as nothing is more rewarding than saving helpless animals in need. A few years ago, she formed her own company, Maharani Media LLC, to focus specifically on animal welfare issues. She's currently working on her project and labor of love, Meera's Animal Tribe. She is finally proud to say she is an Animal Welfare Journalist. Her goal is to educate through her stories so that together, we can end the inhumane treatment that causes animals to suffer worldwide.
