I guide graduate students to develop, structure, and complete large-scale academic writing projects. I provide thesis and dissertation coaching, graduate admissions essay help, and assist students with getting published.
Consulting for Masters & Doctoral Students
Are you in the midst of writing your thesis or dissertation, but having trouble getting to the finish line?
Do you want to publish in scholarly journals, but not sure where to start?
I support master's and doctoral students with the strategic planning and writing processes essential to completing large-scale academic projects. I help graduate students develop a clear research plan, organize their time and develop timelines, articulate their research findings, structure chapters, revise drafts for publication-level clarity. I also offer support to keep you accountable, focused, and productive.
Whether you are just getting started or feeling stuck mid-process, I will help you move forward with confidence and momentum.
