Today, he supports financial planners by gathering client information, liaising with investment companies and helping deliver high‑quality financial services. ### Working Toward Becoming a Chartered Financial Planner Luca is currently completing a **Level 4 qualification**, with the ambition of becoming a **Chartered Financial Planner**. He enjoys helping people grow, understand and manage their money — a rewarding role that blends analytical thinking with people‑focused support. ### Words of Wisdom for Current Students Luca’s advice to today’s students is both practical and motivating: - Explore different opportunities - Choose a path you enjoy - Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone - Stay positive, work hard and believe in yourself His journey shows that success is built on curiosity, effort and self‑belief — qualities we encourage in every student at St Michael’s.
