About Me

I'm a student at an eight-year secondary grammar school with an interest in finance, economics, and financial literacy, more specifically banking, monetary policy, investing, and current economic events. Recently, I've been involved in economic and financial competitions, achieving results at both the national and European levels.

I love learning new things, and what I enjoy most is putting theory into practice. That's why I founded the Opatov Finance club. I'm also always looking for other opportunities to experience finance beyond competitions and textbooks.
