Tuck MBA/Marine Officer Seeking Summer Position under Experienced Searcher/Acquirer

I'm a first-year Tuck MBA actively pursuing ETA. I'm looking to spend my summer embedded with an experienced searcher, independent sponsor, HoldCo operator, or PE Fund to gain experience in sourcing, diligence, modeling, and/or operational projects.
Background: 4 years as a Marine Infantry Officer, followed by healthcare/biotech operations where I helped secure an $11.4M NIH grant for novel PTSD therapeutics. Founded and bootstrapped a health-tech startup while living abroad. Currently searching for my own first acquisition in niche manufacturing and B2B services, $750K–$2M range.
Happy to contribute wherever is most mutually beneficial - deal sourcing and outreach, financial analysis and modeling, due diligence workstreams, or post-acquisition operational support. I'm extremely motivated to learn and will offer quality work. Flexible on geography. Will require fair compensation (can be matched by Tuck).
If you're an investor/operator who could use a high-output addition to your team this summer, DM me or reach out at: redacted
