Experience

At TresVista, I spent over a year supporting high-demand, distressed clients across investment banking and private equity. I had the opportunity to work with 4 different VPs and multiple global clients—including top U.S. PE firms, LPs, and a niche auto-retail-focused IB firm (names withheld due to compliance). Key Highlights: 1000+ hours with an LP firm: led due diligence support, built valuation scorecards, IC memos, and conducted sector research (notably LatAm and U.S. healthcare tech) 800+ hours dedicated to a distressed IB client: built public/high-yield comps, analyzed credit agreements, and supported two major M&A transactions Worked on multiple research decks, enhanced financial modeling, and strengthened Excel and research capabilities Regularly worked 12–14 hour days, driven by a passion for finance and continuous learning This experience shaped my ability to deliver under pressure, quickly adapt, and consistently grow in a fast-paced finance environment.

As Under Secretary-General at DOCMUN, I lead budgeting and financial planning for the entire event, ensuring efficient allocation and management of resources. I also play a key role in the sponsorship and registration committee, where I help drive partner outreach and streamline delegate onboarding. This role has sharpened my leadership, financial management, and stakeholder coordination skills within a high-paced event environment.

Over a 5-week internship, I: Conducted in-depth analysis of client businesses and developed comprehensive strategy reports.
