It is often known that "An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn't happen today." However, Rickie would go further and negate this fallacy by accurately forecasting events in the future based on Quantitative and Qualitative evidence or at least give a correct portrayal of how an economy is progressing, in the present.
Having had nearly 5 years of experience in both School and College as a teacher to the profession, and well versed in related fields of Mathematics and Computer Science, Economics and Business is Rickie’s passion and expertise, to enable and nurture tomorrow's leaders to flourish today.
