    <description>I have been involved in the investment business both professionally as a former financial advisor and personally since the early 1990's. Studying the market through various phases, I have had both successes and failure contributing to my experience. Currently, I am an educator with a master's degree in science education who also holds a degree in business from the University of Georiga. </description>
