Hello! I am Steven
I'm a student at Brentwood School. I enjoy business studies and maths is my second favorite. I enjoy team sports and skiing.
My parents' work in finance taught me about investing.
​
I passed my GCSEs in 2022, gained work experience with ETF issuer firms and one trading platform. I also co-founded an online greeting card business during my first year of A-Levels (https://wildcard2023.sumupstore.com/).

EXTRA CURRICULUM
I chose to join the Navy Cadets at the beginning of Year 9. Despite not having been able to do many of the planned excursions due to Covid during my GCSE years, I enjoyed learning the skills and the culture of the Royal Navy during that time. Since starting sixth form, I have had the chance to be more involved and act as a leading hand, which has helped me better my skills in team work and leadership.
I have been with the Hutton Football Club for four years. Before that I was with Brentwood Youth/Kelvedon Hatch/Brentwood Sport since the age of six.
During my primary school I joined the Brentwood Tennis club where I have been a member since.
Whenever possible I enjoy racing with friends and other karters.

21Shares, Adrian Fritz: “I'm glad he liked it with us. Hats off to so much thirst for knowledge and learning - and that even at the age of 16. I hope in a few years we will have a new talent in the digital asset space".
MarketAxess, Chris Egan: “We really enjoyed having Steven with us. All the feedback about him was super positive. He even helped to prepare a few sales documents for us on the dealer team, which we will be using going forward”.
I'M A CURIOUS
I have grown to become passionate about learning, despite wanting to leave school when I was seven.
​
I am also curious and keen to start working life, learning from others and start taking control and plan my daily work schedule.
I'M GOAL ORIENTATED
Despite having the privilege to enjoy secondary school at a selective establishment, my parents are from humble backgrounds and I have been taught to put my best foot forward and work hard.
I'M A TEAM PLAYER
Be that team sport or working at school in groups is when I perform at my best.
