Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm a finance pro with a ton of experience - over 10 years in the financial services and real estate industries. I started out on Wall Street as a management consultant and have worked with some big names in investment banking and real estate. 

I've even started my own marketing firm for financial services companies. On top of all that, I'm a qualified instructor - I teach a finance course at a university  on a part-time basis and have a bachelor's and master's degree in finance, both with very high honors.

Plus, I've got a syndicated column on Time.com where I give financial advice to over 1,000,000 readers. Check it out here >>> https://time.com/nextadvisor/authors/chi-odogwu/

Trust me, I know my stuff when it comes to finance.
