Shawn’s MBA Qualifications
Coaches professionally
I’m currently a second year at Harvard Business School. I have a strong track record of coaching individuals who have been admitted to leading MBA programs including HBS, Stanford GSB, and Wharton. I spent the last few years working at McKinsey & Company, where I focused on consumer and retail. I graduated from Harvard College in 2020 with a degree in Economics. I am especially passionate about helping applicants tell an authentic story, whether you are following a traditional path or carving out your own. I want to help candidates craft applications that showcase their individuality and reflect their personal goals. If you're looking for thoughtful, personalized support throughout your MBA journey, I would love to work with you.

About Shawn
I graduated from Harvard College in 2020 with a degree in Economics. At Harvard, I worked as a research assistant at an economics research lab, was a Peer Advising Fellow, and captained the Women's Volleyball team. At graduating, I joined McKinsey & Company, where I focused on consumer, retail, and higher education. I also did a rotation with McKinsey's economic research arm, as well as an externship with the strategy team at lululemon. I am currently an MBA Candidate at Harvard Business School. In my free time, I enjoy running and traveling.
Why do I coach?
I wouldn't be where I am today without mentorship. From peers helping me ace the consulting interview, to MBA students running mock interviews, I'm incredibly grateful for the coaching I've received throughout my life. I coach because I want to help other students and young professionals achieve their biggest goals!
