Strategy & Finance Analyst | Corporate Strategy, Private Markets & Valuation | CFA Level I Candidate
Recent Howard University Finance graduate with professional experience spanning Leveraged Finance (TMT) at Barclays and Climate & Infrastructure Private Equity at Apollo Global Management.
My background combines rigorous financial modeling, corporate valuation, and debt analysis with strategic market evaluation and commercial diligence. Through leadership in the Howard University Investment Group and the AltFinance Fellowship, I have focused on synthesizing complex industry dynamics and company fundamentals into actionable strategic insights, supported by Python for data automation.
I am seeking full-time analyst roles across corporate strategy, private equity, investment banking, and private credit where I can drive strategic initiatives, financial analysis, and transaction execution.
Barclays · Present
I supported live and prospective refinancing, M&A, and dividend recapitalization processes by building client-ready pitch decks, cap tables, pro formas, and market updates. I prepared execution materials—fee analyses, FINIDC models, and pro forma capital structures—for TelevisaUnivision’s ~$1.5B senior secured notes offering, and analyzed credit metrics and leveraged-loan comps to position deals competitively in syndication. I drafted lender presentation materials outlining credit strengths, capitalization, and refinancing rationale for a ~$125M RCF commitment. I also produced daily trading runs and pricing scenarios to support a ~$2.1B Term Loan B repricing negotiation for a payments company.
Apollo Global Management · Present
I created a 30-page industry overview and strategic framework on climate-transition investing and presented it to the Climate Task Force investment committee to inform the firm’s approach. I contributed to a ~$290M acquisition by gathering and analyzing financials, market research, and industry reports to support valuation and diligence. I drafted screening materials and investment memos with clear, accurate analyses to facilitate decision-making. I also coordinated with the climate team on a majority buyout process, ensuring complete, on-time materials for initial bid evaluation.
