Meet the 2023 Gems

Sean Potvin was born and grew up in Trumbull, Connecticut before making the decision to spend his undergraduate years at USC. Sean is a newly accepted Leventhal student pursuing a degree in accounting and a career in audit. As a student with a strength in math, Sean wants to gain an understanding of business through beginning his professional career in public accounting. He values the skills that accounting gives a business professional and believes it will give him the opportunity to combine both his interests and his strengths. On campus, Sean is involved in both the Accounting Society and USC Make a Wish club. Service work has been a large part of his life thus far, and he is heavily involved in fundraising for the Los Angeles chapter of Make a Wish. In his free time, he loves spending time with his friends exploring Los Angeles and is an avid sports fan. Every Saturday and Sunday during the fall you can catch Sean tuned into both the USC Football and New York Giants games. Sean states “The opportunity to work alongside Professor Paranal and highly touted business professionals excites me. I look forward to making the most of my mentorship and to begin connecting being an undergraduate and a professional.”
