My name is Joseph Kaplan and I am majoring in Finance at the University of Miami Herbert Business School graduating in May###-###-#### I am currently pursuing a search fund internship throughout this winter. Through my academic studies in financial analysis and Excel, I've developed strong skills in data analysis and a good understanding of different financial statements which I'm eager to apply in a practical setting. I'm particularly interested in the search fund space because of the unique opportunity to be involved in the acquisition and growth of small to mid-sized businesses, aligning with my long-term career goals in private equity or high finance positions.
