About
Kevin K.

Hello! I've just completed my MBA and am currently based in LA. I've mostly lived in California (10+ years, including 4 as an undergrad at USC) and grew up in East & Southeast Asia (I'm also not a US citizen!) Professionally, I've worked as a management consultant in SF and also as a strategic planner / business operations generalist at an LA-based public charter school district (a nonprofit). I recently began working at Beyond Meat and the learning curve’s pretty steep and humbling, so if you're in the same boat then I know your struggle! Outside of work, I love watching and playing tennis, listening to podcasts while I'm out and about, cooking new dishes, and going to the movies. I'm on Twenty because I'm a lifelong learner and I wish I had access to this platform as a resource when I was adulting in my twenties. Ultimately, I'm here to be a resource; whether that's being a whiteboard to discuss career directions, whether to apply to an MBA, adapting to the nebulous nature of life post-college, or something else from what I've written above. Happy to schedule regular conversations or to have one-off chats for more specific questions!

Kevin K.
can help with...
  • Career Discovery: Defining what a meaningful career means to you -- and then co-creating a "plan" with that in mind. Happy to help with navigating and/or pivoting into social impact, non-profits, or mission-led careers.
  • Career Decision-making: such as deciding whether to apply to an MBA (and coming with a gameplan) or when to leave / how to seek growth with your current opportunity.
  • Career "Tactics": such as preparing for interviews, crafting a personal odyssey (narrative) about your career, proofreading resumes, networking, or highlighting stories for behavioral interviews

A glimpse into

's world

Kevin K.
also enjoys talking about...
  • Personal effectiveness systems: how to manage and organize your time and energy to reach your goals in work or life
  • Mindsets: Imposter syndromes, growth mindsets, and navigating setbacks and ambiguities after college
  • Identities: Navigating a DEI journey as a part of the AAPI community
  • Routines I wish I started earlier: The importance of investing (finances and in yourself), thinking in systems to achieve personal goals, intentionally making time for hobbies, being of service to others
  • Big life changes: Applying to graduate schools, taking career leaps, moving to a new city (or country)
  • Balance: maintaining meaningful relationships while advancing in one’s career

's mentorship &Β coaching style
  • Curious: I want to hear about the things you're dwelling on -- and to lead with questions without bringing too many "answers" to the table, unless you ask for it.
  • Empathetic: I want to understand what drives you to get out of bed every day, what kind of life you want to lead (and why) and the person you wish to become.
  • Authentic: I try to be straightforward about what I know / what I've seen, versus what I don’t know and need to learn more about. I'm also a pragmatic person at heart.
