  CFA Charter

  CFA Institute

• 2014

  As a professional qualified in economic research

  investment methods and financial analysis. I am skilled in effectively analyzing data and presenting recommendations based on findings. More recently

  I received the CFA charter from the CFA Institute in 2018. I gained extensive knowledge of investing techniques through studying and passing all three levels of the CFA curriculum. \n Having both an economics background and the CFA designation gives me more insight into the investment process. The CFA provides the methods of investment

  while the economics background provides the underlying structure.\n To make the most of teaching

  I have taught as many different courses as possible (12 different courses

  in all). Just as I pursued the CFA to further my own skills

  I also have made sure to teach as many different courses as possible to further my own skills.
