About Evan

I’ll be joining McKinsey in San Francisco full-time after interning at L.E.K. Consulting and KPMG. Beyond firm experience, I served as President of UCLA’s premier consulting organization, UConsulting, where I mentored dozens of students through consulting recruiting and led 10 client projects with Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups. I also organized large-scale networking events and workshops, directly connecting 300+ students with recruiters and consultants from top firms. I know firsthand how opaque and stressful consulting recruiting can feel. Through deliberate, structured practice, I developed a repeatable approach to casing that led to standout performance during interviews and internships. During my consulting internship, I received feedback that my case performance was exemplary, with no material areas for improvement. I now focus on helping candidates break down cases clearly, think like a consultant, and communicate with confidence - so the process becomes faster, more structured, and far less overwhelming. I also support applicants with resumes, behavioral interviews, and role exploration to help them build a strong foundation for success.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I remember how overwhelming consulting recruiting felt before I had clarity on how interviews actually worked. Early on, I spent a lot of time preparing inefficiently - doing cases without knowing what good really looked like, and hitting a natural plateau. Once I learned how to practice deliberately and structure my thinking, everything clicked. Helping others reach that same moment of clarity became the most rewarding part of my experience. Coaching allows me to shorten the learning curve, reduce unnecessary stress, and help candidates focus their effort where it truly matters.
