Who writes PickMyCert

Our editors

Three people write and edit the career guides and blog articles on PickMyCert. We haven’t taken the programs we cover, and we don’t pretend to. The work is reading program pages, syllabi, prices, refund policies, accreditor directories, state licensing rules and public learner reviews, putting programs side by side, and updating the pages when something changes. Every guide and article names the person who wrote it and the person who edited it.

Meredith Vance

Senior editor

Meredith is the senior editor of PickMyCert. She decides which programs make a ranking, looks up every accreditation claim in the accreditor’s own directory and reads refund policies down to the last line. She writes the guides on licensed and business careers, from bookkeeping and real estate to trucking and paralegal work, and edits most of what the other two write.

  • Licensing and state requirements
  • Accreditation claims, checked at the source
  • Business, finance and writing careers
  • Refund policies and payment plans
  • Keeping the rankings current

Jasmine Holt

Editor, wellness, fitness and family careers

Jasmine writes about the careers people often come to from something they already love: yoga and Pilates, personal training, nutrition and health coaching, holistic practices, doula and lactation support, food, pets and gardening. She checks which credentials studios, gyms and hospitals actually ask for, and she is blunt about programs that promise more than a weekend course can give.

  • Yoga, Pilates and fitness credentials
  • Nutrition and health coaching
  • Holistic and mind-body practices
  • Doula, lactation and sleep consulting
  • Food, pet and garden careers
