She earned a bachelor’s degree from Youngstown State University in 1968.

Meditz is an undergraduate student at YSU studying international marketing. He serves on the financial appropriations committee for the Youngstown State University Student Government Association and as the executive secretary of the Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity.

He previously served as an assistant coach for the hockey team at Canfield High School and a counselor at Ohio Buckeye Boys State. He is expected to graduate in 2013.
