About

I’m actively searching for opportunities as a data science and business analysis intern. I am a communicative, studious, and creative individual with a strong academic background and hands-on internship experience. As a bachelor’s student majoring in Economics and Statistics at the University of Edinburgh, and currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in Systems Engineering at Cornell University, I have developed a solid foundation in quantitative analysis and problem-solving. Through my undergraduate studies, I have become proficient in Microsoft Office, Python, R, and SQL. My diverse internship experiences have enhanced my problem-solving and communication abilities. As a finance and banking intern at Towers Consulting, I conducted detailed valuations, market and country analysis, assisted directors with financial analysis and 3-statement operating models, built financial models for M&A and capital raising transactions, and collaborated with managers to create pitch books and meeting decks for client meetings. Furthermore, at LighterCapital, I applied ARIMA models to predict media funding demand, optimized resource allocation for media projects, and conducted A/B testing to improve user engagement. My project experiences have further helped me bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. I am committed to enhancing my skills and expanding my professional network. I can be reached through this profile, by phone at (+1) 607-229-5394, or by email at [email protected]. Please feel free to connect with me to explore potential opportunities.
