Meir was born in Britain to parents of Guyanese-Indian heritage.2 She trained at the London Academy of Performing Arts, where she won the Most Promising Actress Award, an early indicator of the breadth of work she would go on to pursue across multiple performance disciplines.2
In 2010, Meir won the Norman Beaton Radio Drama Award, also known as the Norman Beaton Fellowship, a competition administered in partnership with Stratford East.23 The award placed her into the BBC Radio Drama Company on a six-month contract. During and after that residency she recorded more than 50 radio plays, performed with the BBC Orchestra, and recorded the comedy series ElvenQuest with Alistair McGowan before a live audience at the BBC Theatre in London.2 The Norman Beaton connection carried personal resonance: Norman Beaton was himself a Guyanese actor celebrated for contributions to British theatre and broadcasting.4
Meir's stage credits include the National Theatre production of Coram Boy and the Olivier Award-winning West End production of Life of Pi at Wyndham's Theatre (2021), one of the most acclaimed British theatrical productions of the decade.15
Her British television credits include Roadkill (BBC One), Manhunt (ITV), The Feed (Amazon Prime Video), The Midwich Cuckoos (Sky), and guest appearances in long-running serials EastEnders and The Bill.1

She voiced Ginny Weasley and Gabrielle Delacour in Harry Potter for Kinect (2012),6 contributed to the BAFTA-winning role-playing game Divinity: Original Sin II (winner of the 2018 British Academy Games Award for Multiplayer),7 and voiced Mira in Dreamfall Chapters.8 Her voice profile, described as fresh, crisp, and youthful with control and versatility, has made her a recurring presence in the British games and ADR industries.9
Meir co-produced with journalist Peter Jukes the investigative podcast Untold: The Daniel Morgan Murder,10 which explores the 1987 murder of Welsh private investigator Daniel Morgan, a case that went through five separate police investigations without a conviction and became one of Britain's most scrutinized unsolved killings.11 The podcast topped charts in both the United Kingdom and the United States, drew over 10 million listeners, won a British Podcast Award (Bronze, True Crime category, 2017), and was preserved in the British Library Sound Archive.212
