Bridgit Mendler

Bridgit Mendler built three distinct careers—entertainment, education advocacy, and space technology—before turning 32. Born December 18, 1992, in the US, she began acting as a child, appearing in Alice Upside Down (2007), The Clique (2008), and Labor Pains (2009). After signing with Disney Channel in 2009, she played Juliet van Heusen on Wizards of Waverly Place (2009–2012), then landed her breakthrough role as Teddy Duncan on Good Luck Charlie (2010–2014), which made her a household name. She also starred in the original Disney Channel film Lemonade Mouth (2011) as Olivia White. Later television credits included the NBC sitcom Undateable (2015–2016), Nashville on ABC/CMT (2017), and Netflix's Merry Happy Whatever (2019).

Mendler's parallel music career began with contributions to the Lemonade Mouth soundtrack in 2011, yielding early singles "Somebody" and "Determinate". Her debut studio album, Hello My Name Is... (2012), reached number 30 on the US Billboard 200 and charted in five countries. The lead single "Ready or Not" earned platinum certifications in four territories and appeared on ten charts worldwide; "Hurricane" and "Top of the World" followed. She independently released the extended play Nemesis (2016) to critical acclaim, spawning "Atlantis" and "Do You Miss Me at All". She completed three tours: Live in Concert (2012), Summer Tour (2013–2014), and Nemesis Tour (2016–2017).

From 2010 to 2012, Mendler served as an ambassador for the nonprofit First Book, promoting reading, and for Give with Target, raising funds for school reform in the US. Starting in 2017, she enrolled at MIT and Harvard, studying with the MIT Media Lab until 2023 and eventually pursuing a PhD candidate registration with MIT's Center for Constructive Communications and Social Machines. In 2024, she completed a JD from Harvard Law School and co-founded Northwood Space, a satellite data startup, serving as CEO; as of 2025, the company has raised over $38 million.

An actor by registered occupation, Mendler transitioned from performance to research and entrepreneurship. A Sagittarius born under the master number 33 life path, she demonstrates the idealistic drive and multi-disciplinary focus characteristic of that numerological archetype.
