Formerly a retail sales manager and marketing director, I began my journey into trading and investing in 2019 having wanted to be more directly involved in my retirement assets after the December 2018 correction. About a year after that life-changing decision, having gained an affinity for technical analysis, I found Benzinga and their Premarket Prep Show on YouTube. It was not long afterward that I became a subscriber and began using their tools and education courses to reinforce the path to my financial goals. Now more confident in my understanding of financial markets, I provide brief, daily updates to Benzinga's exclusive Happy Hour meetings about current events and their effect on the broader market with the hope that I can help others realize their financial goals.
