Meet AWAI-Trained Writer:

Professional Background:

As the author and creator of these training programs, I have a unique blend of work experiences and professional training. As I earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with an Accounting major from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I taught evening courses at a nearby business college. After graduation I continued my study in intermediate education, followed by four years as a public school teacher.

Then a move to California started my early work in both corporate and tax accounting. This led me into a fifteen year career in the electronics industry as a financial analyst and eventually the Manager of Financial Planning and Analysis for two companies. In the evenings and on weekends I became a successful network marketer of consumer products.

Then in 2000 I moved to Minnesota to pursue a ten year career in the financial services field. As a Registered Representative and Investment Advisor Representative I provided advisory services to individuals and businesses based on an analysis of their financial circumstances and objectives. The ultimate recommendations usually involved the sale of an insurance or investment product. I was a licensed insurance agent in Arizona, Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota; and earned a Series 6, 7, 63, and 65 National Securities licenses.

After my first five years in the insurance and investment field, I spent two years as a realtor specializing in both residential and investment property sales. Now after five additional years in the insurance/investment industry I have focused on freelance copywriting and information product creation. I have completed various training courses and seminars with the American Writers and Artists, Inc. and High Income Business Writing.

Now I'm parlaying all my unique professional background and varied experiences into creating extra income opportunities.
