Andrea N Michaels

I grew up as a little girl going to my parents' Edward Jones offices and watching them make a difference in the community and their clients' lives and wanted to have the same impact in my community. I began my career as a financial advisor with Edward Jones in 2015 in Bellevue, WA. Marja Crowe and I have partnered together for the past seven years to help our clients so they can have their financial dreams come true.

I graduated from Washington State University and received my AAMS® designation in 2018. The College for Financial Planning awards the AAMS® designation to individuals who successfully complete a 12-module professional education program, pass a final examination, commit to its code of ethics and agree to pursue continuing education.

Additionally, I have earned the CRPC® designation. This advanced training program focuses on the pre- and post-retirement needs of individuals. Study topics include principles of retirement planning, sources of retirement income, employer-sponsored plans, deferred compensation plans, plan distributions, investment strategies during retirement and planning for incapacity, disability and long-term care.

I am passionate about serving the community of Bellevue professionally and volunteering with many great organizations, such as Jubilee Reach and Liberty Road Foundation. I also serve as a board member for the Watumull Family Children's Fund that is focused on education for children in countries like Kenya and India.

My husband, Peter, and I have been happily married for nine years and enjoy traveling the world together. I come from a large Egyptian Family and love spending time with my family. My favorite destinations are Egypt, France, Italy and Turkey.
