About Steven
Welcome, bienvenidos, bem-vindos! I'm a former management consultant at McKinsey & Company with almost 5 years at the firm across the United States and Latin America - whether you need help with case interview preparation, resume optimization, or behavioral interview techniques, I'm happy to help guide you - I interviewed more than 40 candidates for Analyst and Associate roles (including summer internships) during my time at McKinsey, and have gotten multiple coaching clients offers at McKinsey and other consulting firms since joining Leland! I graduated with two bachelor's degrees from an Ivy League university (the University of Pennsylvania's Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business), and have served as an alumni interviewer ever since - I can help you with the college application process as well. I went to high school at one of the most rigorous public magnet high schools in the United States (Thomas Jefferson - TJHSST), and can also provide guidance on applications to competitive magnet schools. Lastly, I am trilingual - I'm a native English speaker originally from the United States, but I have lived and worked in Mexico and Brazil and am happy to help out in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Please feel free to reach out!
Why do I coach?
I coach because I love helping others succeed. I have been coaching informally for the past ~10 years on everything from learning Spanish to getting into Ivy League universities to breaking into management consulting and acing case interviews, and I'm excited to begin coaching more formally to help others achieve what they dream of. I would never have gotten to where I am now without coaches and mentors investing time in my growth and success, and I'd love to share that with you.
