Merritt Wherry

Merritt Wherry is a research administration professional, freelance writer, and relentless tinkerer. Currently a Senior Administrator at the University of Birmingham's College of Medicine and Health, she brings over a decade of experience navigating complex institutions — from managing regulatory compliance at the University of Pittsburgh to running laboratories at Georgetown and The George Washington University. Originally from the US, she holds a degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina and a CELTA certification backed by years of international ESL teaching across Italy, the Netherlands, and the United States.

Outside of work, Merritt writes about technology and AI for the international tech sector, bakes sourdough with borderline scientific precision, and is always picking up a new craft — from embroidery to knitting to whatever catches her eye next. She's a longtime tabletop gaming enthusiast with years of D&D campaigns and board games under her belt, and games across platforms whenever she can. She loves recreating restaurant dishes at home, meeting people from all walks of life, and building a corner of the internet for people who are curious about everything.
