Before Marketplace, Meraji was a business and economy reporter for Southern California Public Radio. There she covered entertainment, technology, entrepreneurship, and breaking business news.

Previously, Meraji worked at NPR from 2003-2011, first as a producer for Day to Day and then for NPR's flagship afternoon news magazine, All Things Considered.
