Sotheby’s — New York, NY

Luxury Intern, Jewelry
June 2024 – August 2024

During my time at Sotheby’s, I had the opportunity to contribute to high-impact valuation and client engagement initiatives within the Jewelry Department.

  • Spearheaded a historical valuation analysis of over 400 client records, ranging from the mid-20th century to the present, identifying high-value individuals through data contextualization, archival review, and pattern mapping. I compiled my findings into a strategic outreach plan that informed targeted marketing approaches.

  • Collaborated with specialists to support appraisals of major consignments, conducting provenance research and comparative market analysis that resulted in the generation of 80+ detailed valuation reports. These informed auction strategies and supported successful sales outcomes.

  • Independently catalogued consignment data, streamlining client sweep processes and ensuring record accuracy by standardizing input formats and verifying documentation.

  • Led a capstone initiative proposing the strategic auctioning of digital assets such as premium domain names to position Sotheby’s as a leader in digital innovation. Our thoroughly researched proposal examined market trends, legal feasibility, and competitive positioning, and was presented to a panel of four senior executives overseeing various sectors of the company. The final pitch was delivered in front of 200+ Sotheby’s employees and received first prize among the 2024 intern cohort.

    Note: Due to confidentiality agreements and internal NDA restrictions, specific client information and valuation materials cannot be publicly disclosed.
