About Blake Steensland

I am a Finance, Real Estate, and Accounting student at Texas Christian University focused on building strong technical and analytical skills for careers across the high finance sector. I maintain a high academic standard as a TCU Scholar and bring a disciplined approach to both coursework and professional development.I approach problems with strong analytical rigor and intellectual curiosity. My academic interests have strengthened how I evaluate risk, question assumptions, and make structured decisions. I also study leading investors such as Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett, and Peter Lynch to deepen my understanding of markets and long-term value creation.Professionally, I have gained hands-on experience in financial analysis, underwriting, and market research through roles with Q Investments and Eagle Ridge Partners. I will join Yukon Partners as an Incoming Summer Analyst, where I look forward to building deeper exposure to private markets and transaction execution. I regularly use Excel and Bloomberg Terminal to evaluate opportunities and present findings in a clear and practical way. I am especially interested in transactions involving real assets and middle market companies.I founded and lead G.A.I.N.(Generative AI in Finance & Networking), where I help students apply AI tools to finance workflows and recruiting preparation. I am driven to combine disciplined thinking, technical skill, and emerging technology to create practical advantages for teams and investors.I am currently pursuing Summer 2027 opportunities in the high finance sector, with strong interest in Minneapolis and Texas markets. I value high ownership environments, strong mentorship, and teams that are building differentiated platforms.
