I am a Master of Financial Economics (MFE) candidate at Western University, expected to graduate in January 2026, with a strong quantitative foundation from my bachelor’s in mathematics. I have a strong motivation to apply my skills and knowledge in finance and mathematics in the field of quantitative finance and for that I am actively seeking a summer 2025 internship in applied finance. 


Let’s connect to explore internship or co-op opportunities for Summer 2025, or if you would like a copy of my resume. My program allows me to work during the summer term and return to school afterward.

During my tenure as a Market Research Analyst – Equity and Derivatives at MSFINLINE (August 2023 – July 2024), I was responsible for developing quantitative models to forecast client growth based on key market and business drivers. I conducted in-depth research on industry trends and company strategies, supporting technical valuations through financial modeling for the equity research team. Additionally, I identified cost-saving opportunities, which led to the optimization of the firm’s advertising budget. My role also involved client onboarding, where I provided insights into portfolio performance and financial well-being. This experience allowed me to strengthen my analytical skills, financial acumen, and strategic thinking, contributing meaningful insights to the team.

​I am currently pursuing a Master of Financial Economics (MFE) at Western University in London, Ontario. This 16-month, course-based graduate program is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of financial theory, quantitative finance, and securities law. The curriculum is interdisciplinary, incorporating courses from the Department of Economics, the Department of Statistical and Actuarial Sciences, the Ivey Business School, and the Faculty of Law. A notable feature of the program is the summer internship, which offers practical experience and enhances career readiness. Graduates of the MFE program often pursue careers in areas such as risk management, financial modeling, investor and treasury services, and portfolio management.
