Teri Ijeoma

Teri Ijeoma is a former elementary school assistant principal turned multi-millionaire stock trader, entrepreneur, and founder of Trade and Travel. With a Bachelor's degree in Management Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a Master's in Media and Communications from Dallas Theological Seminary, she has revolutionized financial education by making day trading and active investing accessible to everyday people.

What began as a side hustle to supplement her $60,000 teaching salary transformed into a seven-figure trading career that enabled her to quit her job in 2017 and travel the world while trading full-time. Through more than a decade of trading experience, trial and error, and investing thousands of dollars in her own education, Teri developed proprietary strategies that fast-track the learning journey for her students.

Since founding Trade and Travel in 2018, she has successfully guided over 40,000 students to see trading as a viable option to supplement their income, with many achieving her signature goal of making $1,000 per day. Her award-winning curriculum includes over 100 hours of comprehensive trading education, covering everything from basic stock market fundamentals to advanced options trading strategies. As the Grand Champion of Teachable's 2019 Creator Challenge and with over 166,000 Instagram followers, she has become a leading voice in democratizing stock market education, particularly for women and communities that have traditionally been underrepresented in investing. Featured in Forbes, Black Enterprise, Yahoo Finance, ABC, NBC, and FOX, Teri continues her mission to help people achieve financial freedom through active trading while living their dream lifestyle.
