Hi, I am Damian! Thanks for viewing my profile.
I am the founder of two companies, SkillBoost which is an EdTech company working on making education more personalised and Evolutionary Youth which is an Events company working on putting young people into positions of influence.
I am also a mental health ambassador, speaking out on my journey with anxiety and panic attacks and I lead the Haringey Youth Council as the Co-Chair.
I love working with people, solving problems, and exploring different approaches to tasks. My main interests have to be around people though, with an emphasis on psychology and storytelling, finding out how a person became who they are and how they did it.
