Comment: This appears to be an AI assisted draft from the wording. The other problem is that this appears to be an autobiography. These rarely work out, unless you are a professional in copywriting or a related profession. It's too hard to do this successfully otherwise. I will leave some guidance on your Talk page to explain more, but for now please see WP:FAQAS. If you are truly notable then someone, somewhere will do so.
