McKenna Merkley serves as the Estate Settlement Administrator in our Manhattan office, where she helps guide families through complex transitions with care, empathy, and attention to detail. She joined The Trust Company, drawn by both our client-focused mission and our strong presence in the Manhattan community.

She earned her Bachelor of Science in Political Science from Austin Peay State University and brings with her a commitment to building strong, trust-based relationships with the families she serves.

“My ultimate goal is to try and create a lasting positive impact with our clients,” she says. “Whether that be through answering questions or helping them envision the future. Every interaction with our clients is an opportunity to uplift and empower them.”

Outside of work, McKenna and her husband, Zack, stay busy with their two dogs, Boone and Lady. She enjoys gardening, baking, knitting, and taking the dogs to the park.

Fun fact: McKenna hails from Waterloo, New York—recognized as the official birthplace of Memorial Day!
