Melody Barrera
Bookkeeper:
I am the current bookkeeper for PGPM, with a lifelong love for math and numbers that naturally led me to this role. Beyond the work itself, the sense of being part of one big family within this team makes the position truly rewarding. Growing up very family-oriented, that sense of connection means a great deal to me, and this team has made me feel right at home—I couldn’t ask for better people to work with.
I am originally from Kansas and relocated to California earlier this year, taking a leap of faith not only for myself but for the future my partner and I are building together. Outside of the office, I am a proud mom to a two-year-old son who absolutely loves Thomas the Train, and I am excitedly preparing to welcome another baby to our family very soon. In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors and swimming, and I look forward to what the future holds—both with this company and in life.
