This internship opportunity has reinforced my goal to dream big. It has taught me a lot and raised the ceiling on what I think I can achieve in the future.

I’m currently studying for a double degree – Bachelor of Robotics and Mechatronics (Honours) and Bachelor of Commerce – and working part time as a Teaching Associate at the university.

Through the Western Chances Internship Program, I was matched with Tanarra Capital. In my role as an Investment Intern, I spent time creating equity screens, drawing insights from financial and qualitative company data, creating industry reports and developing decks to convey this information to the team. My technical and communications skills improved, and I gained deep insight into corporate finance and activist equities investing.

The best parts of the internship were being exposed to investment discussions and the connections I made with accomplished investors, founders and operators.

I could not recommend the Western Chances Internship Program enough! It’s given me more than I could ever imagine – professional knowledge, personal growth and an incredibly valuable network of people I can call on to move my career forward.
