Furthermore, during the semester of Fall 2011 I took a leave of absent from college due to financial/tuition problems I obtained employment for 4 months at Colina Financial Advisors Ltd and was able to gain knowledge in Pension Administration as a Assistant Pension Administrator (Intern) where I performed duties such as the input of pension contributions, new participants/beneficiaries or update to existing pension participants, assist with the preparation of correspondence letters to plan sponsors and participants, completion of contribution and withdrawal vouchers, and preparation of checks and deposit books.

The Purpose of Everyday In Finance:

The purpose of the Everyday In Finance blog, is to educate and update all young adults in college and high school about the Financial Market. Every year the aspect of technology is growing and as young individuals we should be able to stay on top of what is going on in the financial world locally, nationally and even internationally. I strongly believe that many persons have a right to be educated on the stock market, mutual funds, the preparation of saving for pension and the value of budgeting and saving money. Therefore, the key element of my blog is to target and educate young individuals NOW, about everything Financial in the world such as daily and weekly financial news, tracking top companies stock, and information on well known financial persons. My goal is to keep young people and everyone on top of the business market.

So thus being stated, I hope that my blog become a financial education tool for you and prepare you in for your future.
