🌟 Internship Spotlight 🌟
Meet Valeria Mora ’27, a senior studying Finance with minors in Marketing and Data Analytics from San Cristóbal, Venezuela, as well as a Division I athlete on Niagara University’s Women’s Tennis team.
This summer, Valeria is putting her classroom knowledge to work as a Finance Intern with NorthStar Consultants, an NYC-based firm. She landed the internship through a Finance Club networking event in NYC and a faculty referral. A special thank you to Niagara University Board of Trustees member Thomas Gallagher, founder and principal of NorthStar Consultants, for investing not only in her work but in her learning and professional growth.
As a Finance Intern, Valeria conducts market research and financial analysis on commercial real estate and investment management firms, including researching major industry players, and developing client-ready documents and presentations. What has surprised her most is how quickly she has been able to work with real numbers and data, and the opportunity to help present directly to a client!
From the tennis court to the boardroom, Valeria is making the most of her Niagara experience, putting her business education into action and gaining valuable real-world experience this summer! 💜
