Executive Operations & Communication Specialist
Abigail brings organization, clear communication, and thoughtful execution to initiatives that help the families and individuals we serve live out their retirement vision. She enjoys coordinating projects, improving processes, and finding new ways to help the team work more efficiently while staying focused on exceptional service.
Her journey with Merkle Retirement Planning began as a Communications Intern while attending Drake University. What started as an opportunity to gain professional experience quickly grew into a passion for supporting a team dedicated to making a meaningful impact.
Before joining Merkle Retirement Planning, Abigail completed internships in marketing and media production, gaining experience across multiple industries. Those experiences taught her to adapt quickly, think creatively, and develop a well-rounded skill set that allows her to tackle new challenges with confidence.
Outside of work, she enjoys reading, baking, walking, swimming, and following motorsports—especially Formula 1. She also enjoys embroidery and creative writing.
Giving back is an important part of Abigail’s life. She volunteers with Overflow, helping prepare meals for individuals in need throughout the community. She also volunteers at her church.
