Private investing as a practical way to understand business ownership.
I use investing as an opportunity to develop a better understanding of companies, markets, ownership, risk and long-term decision-making.

Profile
Who I am
I was born on 16 August 1999 and grew up in a low-middle income family. I started working while I was still in education and have since spent time in hotels, a holiday park, food manufacturing and short office-based work trials.
Those jobs were very different from one another, and that variety taught me a lot. I have worked directly with the public, followed operational routines, adapted to different teams and had a brief view of both government and financial-services workplaces.
More recently, I have spent much of my own time learning about companies, investing, technology and international affairs. I am interested in work where I can keep learning, contribute meaningfully and take on greater responsibility over time.

Selected experiences
Beyond employment
Trooping the Colour
Through Cub Scouts, I had opportunities to attend and watch Trooping the Colour during my younger years.
London 2012 Paralympic Games
Through my youth club, I had the opportunity to attend the London 2012 Paralympic Games and watch wheelchair racing in person.
Long-term ambition
One day, I would like to found my own professional wrestling company.
I have always liked the personality of wrestling: people showing off their strength, the confidence of a good entrance, and the quick one-liners that can make a crowd react instantly. I do not have a business plan for it today, but the idea of creating a promotion with its own characters, atmosphere and identity is something I would genuinely like to explore one day.
