My name is Miriam Benard. I am originally from Central America, have been living in South Florida for almost 35 years now and have witness the growth of this beautiful city. I love the outdoors and to meet new people. I have two college children, a lovely husband and a very loyal yellow lab. My professional life has taken place in the Financial Industry, approximately 25 years in several fields, especially on the International side. I have been blessed to have had for employers, a few of the world's best multinational American as well as European Banking Institutions. That has permitted me to acquire vast knowledge in most if not all of the areas of Banking and Brokerage industries. I have also acquired a certificate to teach English and Spanish as a second language. I am very excited in providing students with real world scenarios, practical tips, and a simple yet efficient learning process.

During my free time I play Racquetball. I also love acting and go to the Theatre. Reading is important. Scuba Diving when I can. Nature is amazing!
