Sean’s MBA Qualifications
Sean has helped clients get into these schools:
Welcome to my profile! With an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business and an MPA from Harvard Kennedy School, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. As one of Stanford GSB's TALK Coaches, I help classmates weekly share 25-minute authentic stories about their life in front of 250+ classmates, and through this have honed my skills in finding and brining out the under-the-surface traits that make people remarkable. I'm passionate about helping aspiring MBA candidates craft compelling applications and navigate the admissions process. Let's work together to make your MBA dreams a reality! My diverse background includes consulting roles at The Bridgespan Group and Monitor Deloitte, where I worked on groundbreaking projects in the social sector and technology. More recently, I've worked in early-stage investing roles at VC firms and Venture Studios.

About Sean
Howdy! I'm Sean, a current second-year dual MBA / MPA (Master of Public Administration) student at Stanford GSB and the Harvard Kennedy School. I'm from Houston, Texas and have lived in all over Texas (Austin, Dallas, Houston), in NYC, Boston, and Nairobi. My professional passion is in the workforce/future of work/economic mobility space, and in my personal life I love storytelling, comedy, and distance running. Previously a consultant, I'm now pivoting to get my hands dirty in entrepreneurship! I've worked with mentees on consulting recruiting and led recruiting teams all throughout my six-year consulting career. While at GSB, I've had the honor of helping dozens of classmates shape the authentic (and hopefully entertaining and funny!) stories they want to share with their GSB class. Through this all I've honed a combination of intuition and process that works to bring out the core of a person's story... while making it fun too!! I'm excited to help you out however I can!
Why do I coach?
While at Stanford GSB I've been one of our class's five TALK Coaches; we carry on the TALK tradition by coaching two classmates a week to share their life's story with 250+ peers. Through this and giving my own TALK, I've seen the power that comes from deliberate and painstaking reflection that allows one to shape their own narrative. Sure it's critical for applications, but it also affects our own internal narrative that we tell ourselves about who we are, which has a massive effect on how we show up in the world!
