As an Operations Manager on the Halls Dorn Aiazzi Team, Melissa Emerson works collaboratively with her team to provide clients the exceptional service they expect and deserve. Melissa enjoys and thrives on finding solutions to client’s financial complexities. A problem solver by nature, she finds that solving problems for clients provides them with relief and a sense of security while also giving her the ultimate reward in her career.

Before joining Moneta in 2008, Melissa spent a few short months at another financial advising firm; she knew early on that it wasn’t going to be a good fit based on their standard of client care. Looking back, she sees that time as a learning experience that gave her an even deeper appreciation for her team’s commitment to delivering “Raving Fan” service and acting only in the best interests of their clients.

Melissa’s time outside of Moneta is spent with friends and family alongside her husband, their sons and their two dogs. As native St. Louisians and Mizzou Alumni, it’s no surprise that one of their favorite things to do together is root for their favorite home teams.

Melissa enjoys volunteering in the St. Louis community and spending time with her family at fun places such as the St. Louis Zoo, Magic House and Science Center.
