About Me

I study at an eight-year grammar school, where I developed an interest in and success with economic and financial topics. In financial competitions, I have already achieved notable success. I am mainly drawn to topics in financial and commercial law, investing, economic analysis, and the financial side of policy.

I would describe myself as a beginner for now, though I have made significant progress recently and want to continue developing. I have good logical and mathematical thinking — although I'm not perfect every time. I consider my efficiency in learning, including learning from my mistakes, to be one of my most important qualities.
