I am a second-year student at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, pursuing a dual major in Finance and Accounting with a minor in Economics. As a first-generation student, I’ve embraced a proactive and entrepreneurial approach, earning recognition for academic excellence as a National Merit Scholar and Dean’s Scholarship recipient.My hands-on experience spans financial services, M&A, brokerage, and entrepreneurship. At Interactive Brokers, I collaborated on a hedging strategy targeting high beta tech and pharma stocks and streamlined SEC compliance processes. Currently, as a Private Equity Analyst at Elysian Holdings, I am contributing to a software buyout project, honing my expertise in leveraged buyouts and the end-to-end deal process.Previously, I co-founded Emperor Tutoring, a student-led initiative that transitioned from virtual to hybrid tutoring during COVID-19, supporting over a dozen students and creating part-time job opportunities for peers. My leadership extends to campus roles, including mentoring first-year students and serving as a peer tutor in business technology courses.Passionate about financial literacy and capital markets, I am actively seeking internship opportunities for summer 2025 and 2026 to deepen my knowledge and add value to investment banking and financial services teams. Happy to connect, and I am reachable at seathom@iu.edu.
