Work/Education

2004 - Present
• Lecture in Financial Planning: Personal, Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management, Macroeconomics
• Through the work done at the New Brunswick Securities Commission, I was approached to teach the personal finance course and through referrals from UNB staff, I was then asked to teach a fourth year business course on investments.
1997 - 2000
• After assessing Canadian, American and other investment markets, I produced marketing material and investment “newsletters” for the Branch Manager that in turn generated a significant sales increase in mutual funds and equities.
• Provided personal financial planning analysis of clients which then allowed for “selling-up” opportunities and portfolio re-alignments.

• Successfully tailored business loan request and applications on behalf of entrepreneurs for loan amounts up to STG 500,000.
• After some preliminary market research I approached a lending institution to help in the design and marketing of an innovative loan facility that featured varied monthly payments that coincided with the strong cash flows experienced by seasonal businesses.
