Merri Bjoralt

Meredith (Merri) Bjoralt serves as Senior Data Manager for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (PBTF). With two decades of nonprofit experience, she specializes in collecting and analyzing data that shapes the organization’s strategies and ensures its resources are allocated effectively. Her work is essential to advancing PBTF’s mission, providing hope and light to families during their darkest moments. Ultimately Merri aspires to make her role obsolete, a milestone that would mark the discovery of a cure for pediatric brain cancer.

Merri’s journey in nonprofit work – which has always focused on analyzing data to maximize impact – began in 2004 at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and her passion for making a difference has only deepened since that time. She is continually motivated by the children and families PBTF supports, the groundbreaking research the organization advances, and the dedicated staff she works alongside daily – a staff that is always willing to go above and beyond.

A resident of Nampa, Idaho, Merri enjoys playing and watching soccer, getting into the dirt to ride side-by-sides, decorating her mantle for every holiday, and hanging out with her two dogs, Tucker and Sascha. Her greatest joy is her 14-year-old son, who impresses and inspires her every day.
