Melissa graduated as Valedictorian from the American School of Paris and earned her degree in Business Administration.

She later taught at Lycée International de Los Angeles before returning to focus on her business and operational background.

Melissa is the proud mother of one son, stepmother to two children, and cherishes time with her granddaughter. In her free time, she enjoys walking on the beach, volunteering at a no-kill animal shelter, snow skiing, and working on her farm in northeastern Washington.

Alexandra began her career journey at Third Bridge as a point of contact for Private Equity clients, assisting in market research projects and advisory board development. 

Alexandra graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder where she majored in Psychology and obtained a business minor. In the summer of 2024, she held a business development internship at a start-up in Lisbon, Portugal, where she learned more about the emerging tech industry and Portuguese culture. She is eager to learn more about how the right investments can create financial security and freedom over time, and to aid our clients in achieving their retirement dreams. 

In her free time, Alexandra balances creative and athletic passions. When she’s not at the beach, you can find her at the gym, cooking an intricate meal, or water color painting. She currently volunteers at KidWorks, a local non-profit focused on providing children with after school support in academics and life skills.
