by Martha Harris Myron

  She is passionately committed to fully integrated independent international financial education learning that has been crafted from real life experience and knowledge-based expertise, having lived the life of a multinational multi-jurisdictional globally mobile citizen, crossing borders and straddling the North Atlantic Pond between Bermuda, the United States, working 50% of her international financial planning career in each of the two jurisdictions.

  She states, “I developed cross-border financial planning guidelines, matrixes, and authored more than 1,500 articles on all financial matters for local Bermuda newspapers when I discovered on returning to my island home, the extraordinary financial complexity of Bermuda’s economy, a tiny island of 60,000 + community and a dominant player in the Global Re/insurance industry. 

Bermuda is a self-contained country even though still a British Overseas Territory
