About Me
I’m a career changer. I spent seven years at Deutsche Bank in various technology roles before realising it wasn’t the life I wanted. So I retrained as a maths teacher — and I’ve now been teaching for over 12 years. It’s the best decision I ever made. I love the profession, and I genuinely feel I was born to do it.
A few years ago, I also realised something important:
I knew almost nothing about personal finance or investing.
So I started learning. Slowly, steadily, and from scratch — just like many of you.
Now, I’m sharing what I’ve learned, hopefully with some clarity, encouragement, and a focus on what actually works.
