As an analyst in the Industrials/Materials sector, I participate in weekly discussions on financial markets and current events, offering insights and staying informed on market trends. I leverage advanced financial tools such as Bloomberg Terminal and Capital IQ for comprehensive market and equity research, enhancing the depth and accuracy of my analyses. I conduct competitor analysis to support a semester-end stock pitch presentation to club members, providing a detailed look at industry positioning and competitive strengths. Additionally, I am building foundational skills in financial modeling, including constructing Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuations, to deepen my expertise in company valuation.

During my second Finance rotation at PPG, I contributed to the financial analysis and operational efficiencies within Corporate Treasury. I developed process map presentations detailing FX spot trades, interest rate swaps, futures, and intercompany loans to clarify trading workflows and ensure accuracy in transactions. Using Bloomberg Terminal, I identified and analyzed FX rates, forward bid/ask spreads, SOFR, and the Fed Dot Plot to assist in strategic financial decisions. I evaluated PPG’s Pension Plan investment portfolio against benchmark indexes, projecting annualized returns to support long-term financial planning. Additionally, I designed a currency tracking system that incorporated central bank rate change expectations across seven major currencies, enabling more informed market analysis. In capital optimization, I completed a Lease vs. Buy DCF analysis on equipment, contributing to effective allocation of excess capital. I also devised a ranking system based on the Callan Periodic Table of Investment Returns to visualize performance standings of major asset classes. My work often involved collaboration, such as partnering with PPG’s Global Finance Team and PNC Bank on a Colorful Communities project to support a local school.

In my first Finance rotation at PPG, I was responsible for accurately reporting nearly $5B in Q2 sales, including detailed revenue segment breakdowns and cost center allocations. I prepared tie-outs and populated financial statements for the 10-Q and 11-K filings, leveraging Workiva and Foxit PDF software for efficient and precise reporting. Additionally, I executed validation reports to ensure a smooth transition within the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management system. My technical calculations included the Black-Scholes model, Q2 diluted earnings per share, executive stock options, and COLI analysis, contributing to well-informed decision-making. I also updated the annual goodwill impairment assessment for all nine of PPG’s Strategic Business Review presentations, supporting a thorough evaluation of asset values across the company.

I partnered closely with coaches and staff to ensure efficient execution of all on-field and administrative operations. I conducted detailed statistical analyses using Yakkertech, delivering precise game-day data and specific pitching metrics to assist coaches in decision-making. Committing over 20 hours per week to daily practices and games, I balanced these responsibilities with my academic workload, demonstrating strong time management. Additionally, I evaluated potential recruits through summer prospect camps, travel team tournaments, and player workouts, providing valuable insights to inform recruitment decisions.

I was selected to participate in PPG Industries' exclusive Primers Week program, tailored for rising sophomores to gain foundational insights into the company’s operations and impact. Throughout this program, I engaged in networking events with professionals from the Finance Department and related fields, allowing me to build valuable connections and understand PPG’s industry position. The program introduced me to PPG’s Strategic Business Units (SBUs) and Financial Leadership Development (FLD) programs and included in-depth finance breakout sessions and workshops on the “PPG Way,” providing a holistic view of the company’s strategic approach and culture.
