What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance role where I can use DCF and valuation modeling, conduct due diligence, and deliver investment-ready insights. I want to work with decision-makers, learn from deal-driven teams, and grow into higher-impact analysis.

I’m a finance professional with an MSc in Finance from Stevens Institute of Technology and 3 years of experience in financial analysis, valuation modeling, and investment reporting. I enjoy turning complex data into clear recommendations that support confident decision-making.

As a Financial Analyst, I build feasibility analysis using DCF models for profit projections and resource allocation. I also create ad-hoc reports to evaluate inventory performance and help reduce cost and inventory investment by 3%, while tracking category-level sales and market demand for monthly management reviews.

Previously as a Private Equity Analyst, I contributed to investor presentations and internal memos by sharpening the investment thesis and value proposition. I conducted due diligence post-LOI for multiple companies, performing financial, operational, and market trend analysis using comparable company and precedent transaction approaches, and I reviewed key legal documentation including NDAs and LOIs.

Earlier, I supported investment research by executing due diligence on equity and fixed income instruments, calculating NAV, and identifying emerging opportunities. I also built performance attribution across industries and helped teams with KPIs, valuation models, stress testing, and budgeting—then carried those analytical strengths into portfolio management and options trading projects.
