WORK HISTORY

ABOUT ETHAN CHEN

I’m a driven finance student at The University of Texas at Dallas with a deep interest in business strategy and consulting. I’m passionate about helping organizations solve complex challenges, make data-driven decisions, and achieve meaningful growth. Through my coursework in corporate finance and human resources management, I’m building strong analytical and problem-solving skills that I’m eager to apply in real-world business settings. My professional experience spans business development, education, and leadership. At Next Step Admit LLC, I work on strategic planning, client outreach, and project management initiatives that enhance organizational efficiency and growth. As an Assistant Debate Coach at BASIS Independent Schools, I mentor students to strengthen their analytical and communication skills — an experience that has sharpened my ability to lead, teach, and collaborate effectively. Serving as Secretary of State for YMCA Youth & Government for one year taught me how to lead diverse teams, manage large-scale events, and communicate complex ideas clearly. I’ve always been drawn to opportunities that combine teamwork, strategic thinking, and meaningful impact. What excites me most about consulting and business strategy is the chance to collaborate with driven professionals, tackle real-world problems, and contribute to innovative solutions that create long-term value. I’m eager to connect with professionals in finance and consulting to continue learning, share ideas, and contribute to this dynamic field.
