Meredith Wheeler is a Executive Director at Nature Discovery Center based in Houston, Texas, United States, North America. As a mission-driven leader, I believe in the power of place, people, and purpose. Whether I’m building inclusive communities, designing programs that spark connection, or tackling big-picture strategy, I lead with empathy, curiosity, integrity and a healthy dose of creativity. I’m currently the Executive Director of the Nature Discovery Center in Bellaire, where I’m honored to steward a beloved community institution that reconnects people of all ages to the wonder of the natural world. My focus is on cultivating belonging, expanding impact, and making nature feel not only accessible, but irresistible. Before this, I co-founded and led Sesh Coworking, Houston’s first female-centered, LGBTQ+ affirming coworking space. Over nearly a decade, I helped grow Sesh from a grassroots idea into a 20,000 sq ft hub for inclusive work, creativity, and connection. I’ve also served on nonprofit boards and partnered with organizations across education, conservation, advocacy and community development. At my core, I’m a connector, builder, and listener. I thrive in the in-between spaces - where vision meets logistics, where people come together around a shared mission, and where meaningful work gets done with heart.
