Merilyn Kaufman grew up in a tiny town called Trichardt, adjacent to Secunda, built amidst the coalfields of the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. Given that they had dust roads until the early 2000’s, Merilyn had a lot of fun on her BMX bike growing up, and she still loves breaking out her Harley and skidding around corners. She studied part time to obtain her Law degree from the University of South Africa whilst working her first job at a law firm in her home town. In 2010, she moved to Johannesburg and then, in 2017, immigrated to the USA where she worked in HR, Accounting, and office management at a start-up manufacturing company in Florida. Outside of the office, Merilyn loves spending time with her fur-baby, Bentley, visiting breweries, and playing golf. In 2022, we welcomed Merilyn to the A-Team and she has been an essential part to our team! “I love the positive vibe and all around atmosphere at ATCOM. It feels like family! I have learned and grown so much in the short time I’ve been here and everyone I work with are such great mentors.”
