“Taking an active approach to your finances is a powerful tool when it comes to feeling confident and in charge of your life.” Merrill learned this at a young age from her father, whose frequent personal finance meetings with Merrill inspired her to pursue a degree in business management at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU).

While at TMU, Merrill excelled in co-op placements at the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), Voilà by Sobeys, and Toyota Canada, where she sharpened her analytical skills and further discovered her love for connecting with people. She was on the Dean’s List for the duration of her years at TMU, and was recognized as one of the top 10% most engaged students in her cohort.

In 2023, she graduated from TMU’s Top 200 program, a two-year experiential learning program. The program’s focus on ethical leadership and professional development equipped her with the skills to be a future leader.

Merrill is working toward her Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation. She is driven to help clients feel informed and in control of their finances and lives.
