As a public-school and online teacher for a combined ten years, I’m known for creating games and activities that enhance comprehension and enjoyment of my lessons. 

As an international corporate manager for sixteen years, I led highly successful teams in sales forecasting, business planning, and marketing.  

Investing has been an interest of mine since 2003 when I took a series of investment courses over a three-year stretch, learning technical analysis (charting stocks).  I’ve utilized Japanese candlestick charts for 19 years as an investor to predict the price movement of the NYSE, Nasdaq, S&P, as well as for individual stocks.  I love studying past market data and forecasting the direction of future price movements of a stock.
