Matthew Petrus

I am actively seeking a full-time investment banking position following my graduation in May 2026, with a strong focus on leveraging my analytical abilities, financial acumen, and attention to detail. With exceptional oral and written communication skills, I am adept at handling high-pressure environments, managing multiple tasks simultaneously, and demonstrating maturity in decision-making. I am eager to contribute to a dynamic, growth-oriented finance team, and am open to opportunities for a summer internship or entry-level role where I can apply my expertise to drive success and add value.

I have a strong passion for football, soccer, and basketball, having played at both recreational and competitive levels. My commitment to fitness is demonstrated through a decade-long dedication to daily gym workouts, diet, and exercise, leading to a transformative 150-pound weight loss. This journey has not only enhanced my physical health but also instilled a deep sense of discipline, resilience, and perseverance—qualities I bring to both my personal and professional life.
