About Colin

Hi, my name is Colin and I am a final year Bachelor of Commerce student at the University of Melbourne.
I chose to major in Economics and Finance because those were the two areas of commerce that had piqued my interest ever since I began VCE and have thoroughly enjoyed learning about the operation of modern-day financial markets and economies around the world. I find it fascinating to see how all things are in some way or another inter-related and the constant state of flux markets are in, as various forces compete with each other. I have a particular interest in corporate financing and the stock market.
My university study has greatly improved my analytical skills, as commerce places a great degree of emphasis on problem-solving and rational execution of decisions, and I think this will hold me in good stead in the corporate world.
I also have work experience in tutoring VCE Economics over the past couple of years, which has been very helpful in terms of engaging and relating to different types of people and helping them achieve their best. I also assist in a family-operated vending business which has allowed me to gain a greater understanding of business in Australia and some of the challenges being faced.
Outside of this, I also play chess, which aside from being a lot of fun, has been very helpful in improving my problem-solving, critical thinking - and even creativity! I also have aspirations to one day become a titled player.
