15 years of experience in finance and an adjunct professor

Erald B.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Finance and an MBA with a concentration in Financial Management from Iona University, which has provided me with a solid foundation in financial principles and practices. With over 15 years of experience in the financial services industry, I specialize in wealth management, where I build and execute trades across various instruments, including stocks, bonds, foreign exchange, forwards, futures, and options. This extensive background not only enriches my understanding of the subject matter but also allows me to bring real-world applications into the classroom, enhancing the learning experience for my students.

This past semester, I began my journey as an adjunct professor at Belmont University, teaching Business Finance to a diverse group of students, primarily Juniors and Seniors, with some Sophomores. My teaching philosophy centers around creating an open and engaging environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions and actively participate in discussions. I maintain an approachable demeanor, making myself available during office hours and before and after class to address any concerns or questions. With a class size of 28 students, I also offer one-on-one sessions upon request, allowing me to provide personalized support and ensure that each student grasps the material thoroughly. My experience in both classroom settings and individualized tutoring has equipped me to effectively guide students through the complexities of finance, fostering their academic growth and confidence in the subject.
