Carrie in real life

Favorite thing about where you live?

I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2012. The Bay Area offers an incredible mix of nature, culture, and innovation. I love that we can “taste the world” just by exploring different neighborhoods and new cuisines. There is always something new to discover and it’s a wonderful place to raise a family with so many opportunities to learn and grow.

What keeps you busy outside of work?

My daughter, born in 2024, keeps me on my toes. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family. Parenthood has brought a new perspective and joy to my life, reminding me to be present and appreciate the little moments. I also enjoy practicing yoga, reading, and connecting with friends over good food and conversation.

Why do you like working at Mercer Advisors?

Having previously worked at Mercer Advisors from 2017 to 2018, I know first-hand the firm’s deep commitment to client-first service, collaboration, and supportive team environment. The firm invests in its people, technology, and operations, creating a foundation where both employees and clients can thrive. Returning to Mercer Advisors in 2025 felt like coming home to a team that shares my values and empowers me to do my best work.
