A 16-year-old, multi award-winning change maker, social entrepreneur and researcher dedicated to challenging injustices through the use of law. Sometimes there's a need to use the law, taking legal action and involving oneself with social action projects to bring about positive changes in society. This is one of the reasons why Monty is inclined to study Law.

Monty has a penchant for conducting obscure memory feats, learning & reciting texts in foreign languages, including Aramaic and reciting the entire 13th century Magna Carta in Latin. An accomplished public speaker, he's spoken at public events and at the age of 14, presented his 55,000-word thesis to CAMHS.Digital and University of Manchester Psychology staff.

Monty engaged thousands of children across several schools in his ground-breaking research and was recognised with the Prime Minister’s Points of Lights Award, the Diana Award & the British Citizen Youth Award for services to the community & charity. At the age of 14, he founded the UK registered charity Young Active Minds to inspire new, fun & effective learning activities using his memory techniques. He's now a charity trustee. The charity aims to promote education & mental health awareness throughout all schools & community groups, irrespective of current attainment levels or cultural diversity of the students. In his spare time, Monty enjoys fitness writing. At the age of 7, he became the UK’s youngest bestselling author with his fictional novel.

The judicial system and preservation of rights. Forensic and experimental psychology, politics, history and archaeology. Life in general. Oh & memorising lists of excessively long random numbers.....just for fun!

Memory isn't predicated on a person's level of intelligence. It's something quite separate and unique for each individual. I spent a long time researching memory and looking into different methods and techniques for perfecting both memory retention and memory recall. What I quickly discovered was that the brain is just like any muscle and in the same way that you can increase your muscular strength by regularly working out at the gym, you can stimulate and grow your memory by performing quick daily exercises.
