I am a current student at the University of Warwick, with prior experience as an L/S equity analyst, VC analyst, and student consultant. My purpose for writing on Seeking Alpha comes down to expressing my views and opinions on certain stocks with the world. At the same time, it is a vital exercise for me to develop my writing skills for different investment theses. I read through several SeekingAlpha posts a week as a part of my routine, so what is better than adding my own to the community? In terms of areas of interest, I have a passion for the Energy, Mining, and Industrials sector. I look forward to expanding my sector awareness by posting industry-agnostic stock pitches. I do intend to maintain a focus on the Americas and EMEA region for personal interest, so I will contain myself in these regions. Other than that, I have been holding a paper-money portfolio since 2020, but this page marks my improved commitment to the cause.
