1st session of the 56th Financial Literacy and Economic Education.

Presenting to a group of future medical doctors as apart of their orientation.

Let's keep the good news going. Meet Christine Rodriguez! She was one of my most passionate and active Financial Literacy Ambassadors.
Christine graduated today with her BBA in Finance having successfully navigated two or three of my courses (I am sorry ... Lol not). If that's not enough reason to celebrate her I have more. In August Christine continues her education when she begins her MBA at IAE School of Management in Bourdeaux, France! Yes, not only is she leaving the Valley; but, she is saying good bye to the US for a few years. Join me in congratulating your very own Christine Rodriguez! I am so proud of this young woman.

On the eve of graduation, I want to share some good news and celebrate my student and financial literacy ambassador Alejandro Rocha. Tomorrow Alex graduates with BBA in Finance and Accounting. After a successful internship with Ernst and Young, he was offered a fulltime job and accepted into their scholarship program. Because of the scholarship, Alex decide to continue his education at the masters level. In the Fall, he will be enrolled at Notte Dame and completing an MSA. I am truly proud of Alex. Join me in celebrating him.
