Expert support
for your high-stakes academic writing projects.
I'm the founder of Strategic Writing Consulting, where I support students and scholars with high-stakes academic writing projects.
As a tenured university professor with a Ph.D from the University of Pennsylvania and a master's from a top-ten global university, I offer insider expertise grounded in decades of experience in teaching, mentoring, and publishing.
My consulting is personalized and strategic—helping clients apply to college, complete theses and dissertations, build tenure portfolios, or get published with clarity and confidence.
