Joseph Meawad, Senior Financial & Credit Adviser, Trinity Financial Advisers shares how his gift for breaking down complex financial jargon led him to financial advice; how education was the key to being able to travel the world and his most recent ‘high-five’ moment of building a large equity portfolio across borders.

I am most proud of my education – it has allowed me to travel and work around the world.

My wife, looking after 4 young children and studying at the same time is a mammoth effort.
