Meril arrived at Plancorp in 2001 as an Executive Assistant. Her experience, which spans both the medical and corporate realms, has given her a sharp eye for detail and an enviable skill set in finding creative solutions.

Originally a medical assistant for a pediatrician in Alton, Meril decided she’d rather pursue a role in business and became a secretary for KPMG Peat Marwick. Eventually, she moved up to the position of Administrative Assistant to four partners and eight managers in the tax department. She went on to work as an Executive Assistant at LMI Aerospace before joining Plancorp.

Outside of work, Meril enjoys sports, reading, shopping, traveling and spending time with friends and family.
