What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a summer internship where I can deepen corporate finance, investments, and/or capital markets experience—applying financial modeling, valuation, and research skills in a supportive, high-expectations team.

I’m a finance student at Lehigh University (Class of 2028) with a major in Finance and a minor in Psychology, driven by a desire to turn analysis into real business decisions. I bring an enthusiastic, hard-working mindset and I’m a strong communicator who enjoys working in high-performing teams.

I’m seeking a summer internship to gain corporate finance, investments and/or capital markets experience. Through my intensive Investment Banking “Bootcamp” summer program with Houlihan Lokey, I built and analyzed forecast models and supported comparable valuation work using public company and precedent M&A transaction multiples.

I also strengthened my valuation toolkit by building Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and Leveraged Buyout (LBO) financial forecast models to assess company valuations. I’ve researched and prepared valuation materials by incorporating key drivers, metrics, and forecasting techniques—always focused on accuracy, clarity, and usefulness to decision-makers.

Beyond investment banking, my summer “shadow” experience with Harbor Investment Advisory, LLC gave me exposure to portfolio management, wealth planning, and family office support services. I evaluated risk while researching current legislation (Big Beautiful Bill and Regulation BI) to understand potential impacts to clients, and I continue to build leadership through my highly selective Orientation Leader role at Lehigh University.
