My name is Shom Ahuja and I am a fourth-year finance major at the University of Florida. This summer I interned at Greystone as a Healthcare FHA Lending Intern, where I was able to strengthen my analytical skills by being involved in projects utilizing financial modeling in excel, risk assessment, and market forecasting. I have also held internship as a Mergers & Acquisitions Intern at Shikun & binui and an Accounting Intern at BrightStar Credit Union. Alongside my academic and technical work, I’m also a Pledge Advisor for Delta Sigma Pi, a role that allows me to mentor and support new members as they begin their journeys in the business world. Through DISS, I lead the creation of equity investment proposals and conduct in-depth sector analyses, all aimed at enhancing the performance of a long-only portfolio. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of valuation and investment strategy, preparing me for the complexities of a financial career.
