Summary

I recently completed a Specialized Master of Finance degree from Ohio State University Fisher College of Business, where I engaged in a range of impactful projects. One notable collaboration involved working with Vela Investment Management to explore diverse distribution channels for their fund as it approached its three-year mark. Utilizing valuation analysis, our team formulated a comprehensive plan to pursue different distribution channels once a specific Assets Under Management (AUM) threshold was achieved.

As part of my core capstone project, I delved into equity research and produced an in-depth research report. Additionally, I conducted thorough analyses of various sectors and 401K plans as part of my coursework, allowing me to develop a comprehensive understanding of these areas.

My involvement in a private equity project provided valuable insights into the industry, equipping me with the knowledge to establish optimal funds and identify lucrative opportunities. Throughout these experiences, I successfully utilized tools such as Python and SAS to handle and analyze large datasets. Notably, I applied my skills in machine learning to create a predictive model for bank churn during coursework, demonstrating my ability to leverage advanced analytics techniques.

Prior to pursuing my master's degree, I held a managerial role in a family-run business primarily focused on agriculture. This multifaceted position required me to handle various aspects of the business, ranging from sourcing raw grains to overseeing the sale of finished products.

These diverse experiences have honed my analytical, problem-solving, and data management skills, preparing me for the challenges and complexities of the financial industry. I am confident that my academic background, combined with my practical experience, positions me well to make valuable contributions to any finance-related role.

Expectations

In my new job, I am eager to apply the knowledge and skills I have gained through my Master of Finance degree and previous experiences. I anticipate working in a dynamic and collaborative environment where I can contribute to the analysis and decision-making process within the investment-grade telecom, media, and technology sector. I look forward to supporting the senior analysts in conducting financial modeling, qualitative analysis, and producing research reports. I am excited about the opportunity to interact with investors and corporate management teams, leveraging my strong communication and interpersonal skills. Additionally, I am prepared to embrace the fast-paced nature of the role, monitor market developments, and contribute to maintaining a positive working environment within the credit research team. Overall, I am committed to delivering high-quality work, continuously expanding my knowledge, and making valuable contributions to the success of the team and the organization.
