Here we are, it’s summer 2023, and we are growing! We have come a long way since we began this journey as Emerald Advisors in 2019. Our mission remains the same: to build trusted, transparent relationships with our clients in which you know that through each stage of life, we are here for you, putting your interests and success first, and planning according to your purposes. Continuing to evolve and grow as an organization is an essential part of how we fulfill this promise to you, so it is our pleasure to announce that this July we added two new members to the Emerald team. Allow us to introduce them to you:
Crystal Williams joins the team as the Executive Assistant to Michael Smith. Having performed this role within the life insurance industry for the previous five and a half years, she provides relevant experience and robust organizational know-how. Working behind-the-scenes is where she thrives, filling in gaps before anything falls through them and generally doing whatever is needed to ensure those she supports succeed. Her focus here is on calendar management, travel arrangements, social media presence, event coordination, and assistance with day-to-day operations. She attended school for photography but is now in the process of earning her BA in Business Administration.
Outside the office, Crystal enjoys hiking, cooking, traveling, and exploring her new surroundings in Seattle, as she recently moved here from Asheville, NC with her husband and rescue pup. She is an avid animal welfare advocate and plans to volunteer with local animal shelters and organizations in the PNW.
