Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the internship position at your firm. I am a junior at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business, pursuing a B.S. in Business Administration with a 3.84 GPA, and I am a CFA Level I candidate sitting the exam in February 2027. I am seeking a Summer 2027 internship in investment banking.
As the sole research assistant to Professor Rodney Ramcharan in Marshall's Finance and Business Economics department, I built the complete v17 data and analysis workflow with AI-assisted development. It processes 1,303,758 historical newspaper documents into 18,070,399 candidate rate observations, applies auditable evidence gates to retain 401,597 offers, and clusters 33,857 institution-name strings into 17,680 entities. The research remains ongoing and unpublished.
As Voglio's Chief Financial Officer, I built the company's assumption-driven three-year pro forma and its VC presentation. The model projects $4.39M of Year-3 revenue from subscriptions and venue advertising and supports an approximately $325K fundraising target that has not yet been raised. It models premium conversion, app-store fees, venue revenue, CAC, infrastructure costs and operating expenses.
Through USC's Global Investment Society I led a four-member team pitching Overweight on Northrop Grumman at a $698 price target. A teammate and I jointly built the ten-year DCF and comparable-companies analysis, including the WACC build, both terminal-value methods and sensitivity analysis. Re-auditing the model later showed that the revenue forecast held while the margin assumption I had not stress-tested drove the result.
I would welcome the chance to discuss the internship role at your firm. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Mikhail Glukhov
