The People Behind Dracoviarent
Meet the experienced professionals who guide our financial education mission. Each team member brings decades of real-world experience and a passion for teaching practical financial skills.
Meridian Blackstone
Chief Financial Strategist
Meridian spent fifteen years working at major investment firms before realizing something was missing. "I watched too many brilliant people make costly mistakes simply because no one taught them the fundamentals," she explains. Her approach focuses on demystifying complex financial concepts through real-world scenarios.
Before joining Dracoviarent in early 2023, Meridian led educational initiatives at three different financial institutions. She holds certifications in financial planning and has taught over 2,000 professionals the art of clear financial communication. Her weekend hobby? Teaching her neighbors' teenagers about budgeting – because financial literacy shouldn't wait until college.
