Michaela Bradley
Client Service Associate
Michaela's Role:
Client Service AssociateProfessional Background:
Michaela Bradley graduated from Iowa State University in May 2025 with a bachelor’s degree in financial counseling and planning and minor in Agricultural Business. She had very passionate personal finance and economic teachers in high school who ultimately influenced her to pursue the field of financial planning. During her time at Iowa State, she obtained the Psychology of Financial Planning Specialist Certificate, volunteered as a tax preparer at the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance site on campus, and completed the education requirements for the Certified Financial Planner exam.
Michaela joined Syverson Strege as an intern during her final semester at Iowa State, primarily working alongside the CSA team. She had such a great experience which made it an easy decision for her to come back full-time as a Client Service Associate after graduating.
Personal:
I was raised in Indianola, Iowa, and currently reside in Ames. I like to spend my free time reading a good book, baking, visiting family and friends, and traveling (especially to places near a beach). I also enjoy the time I can spend helping on our family’s cattle farm in southwest Iowa. I’ve always been a big fan of the Iowa State Cyclones and love to attend football, basketball, and softball games.
