Mykail James
Financial Services Professional & Financial Literacy Advocate

Personal Notes
As technology advances and changes the world around us younger generations are learning and adopting differently. Financial literacy is one of the most important topics, anybody can learn but I fear that we are lacking the technology integration in today’s teaching. Young Millennials and Gen-Z audiences are always looking for the easier technological based solutions. I love giving my audience the motivation to quantify their goals while using technology to execute. I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with you and spread the message of financial literacy.
