Sr. Vice President

I’m driven by a simple belief: When you put clients first, lead with integrity, and go beyond expectations, you don’t just manage wealth — you help people live the lives they’ve always envisioned.

Lisa in real life

What keeps you busy outside of work?

Outside of work, I love being outdoors and staying active — whether that’s golfing, hiking, or playing pickleball. Most importantly, I value spending time with my family and relaxing at home with our two cats.

How do you give back?

Giving back is very important to me. I serve on two advisory council boards — one centered on education and one on mental health — both areas I’m deeply passionate about. I also love mentoring through Big Brothers Big Sisters and have had the special experience of watching my “little sister” grow into adulthood. It’s been one of the most meaningful relationships in my life.

Why do you like working at Mercer Advisors?

Having spent 30 years in the industry across a variety of organizations, I truly value what makes Mercer Advisors different. I’ve seen firsthand the impact we make by bringing together all aspects of a client’s financial life in a thoughtful, integrated way. I’m especially proud of our Women & Wealth practice and the meaningful focus we place on education through client events, helping clients feel informed, empowered, and supported.
