Meha recognizes that every student is different, and has unique needs and require different teaching styles. She is a highly flexible mentor, and always tailors her methods based on the students individual needs and goals. During highschool, Meha was interested in participating in as many clubs and classes she could fit in her schedule. She was part of her schools CubeSat program, which was an organization that works with NASA to build and launch a mini satellite in to space. She was also president of her local Art Club, and spearheaded the GoMonster project, where kindergarten students designed creatures that then more advanced high school artists drew in their own unique art styles to give back to the kids.

Meha recently graduated from University of Southern California's Game Design program, which is ranked #1 in the country. She was accepted into a cohort of 17 other game design students, all with varying backgrounds, skills and achievements. With an acceptance rate more selective than Harvard, the program led her through the ins and outs of game development, from making board games from scratch to publishing a game as a senior capstone project. Meha actually started off double majoring in environmental biology along with her game design track, even working for a Microbiology Lab on campus and being offered an internship at JPL's Astrobiology Lab. She has now fully committed myself to game development, and works at Activision Blizzard, who you might know for making games like Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot 4, Overwatch, and World of Warcraft, among others.
