Your vision. My expertise. Our journey.

ELEVATE

I know how you feel.

The doubts. The questions. The uncertainty.

And perhaps worst of all—the sense that you’re going through the dissertation journey alone.
   

 • Are you just beginning and unsure how to start? 
        I can help. 


• Are you stuck in the middle, overwhelmed by what’s next?  
       I can help. 


• Are you close to the end and in need of clarity and polish?  
       I can help. 


• Are you burdened, anxious, stressed—or simply exhausted?  
       I can help. 


I understand. I’ve been there. I know how challenging—and even traumatic—the dissertation process can be.

My mission is to change that. 
 

Over the past two decades, I’ve helped hundreds of doctoral candidates navigate this journey and cross the finish line. During the dissertation process, you should feel supported, guided, and nurtured. I’m here to make sure that happens. 
 

I’ll help you—step by step—with structure, guidance, expertise, and support. With your vision and my expertise, we'll elevate your project and construct your dissertation one paragraph, one section, one chapter at a time. 

You don’t have to do this alone.

If you're thinking about working with a dissertation coach, please call, text, or email at your convenience. I'd love to talk with you about your project.

COMPETENCE
BUILDS CONFIDENCE

If you’ve never completed a dissertation before, it’s completely normal to feel self-doubt, stress, and anxiety—sometimes to an overwhelming degree. The good news is that increasing your competence builds your confidence. And that’s exactly what we’ll do—together  I often say, “If you can hammer a nail, you can build a house.” Yes, the dissertation is a large and complex project—but it’s also just a series of manageable steps. I’ll show you exactly where to place each “nail” and how to strike it. I’ll provide you with clear strategies, practical techniques, and step-by-step guidance informed by two decades of dissertation coaching experience.

Have you ever been asked to complete an assignment, report, or project without clear instructions—only to be told afterward everything you did wrong? That’s what I call “leading from behind.” My approach is the opposite: I “lead from the front.” That means I lead the way. I help you understand the purpose and structure of each section of the dissertation first, and then I show you exactly what to do to complete it. With clear direction from the beginning, you won’t waste time guessing what your chair expects from you. Instead, you’ll move forward with clarity and confidence.

LEADING FROM

THE FRONT

One of the most valuable services I provide is helping you avoid the big, costly mistakes that many doctoral candidates make—especially early in the process. I can guarantee that this will save you countless hours of unnecessary and unproductive work.

It’s good to correct mistakes.

It’s infinitely better to avoid them.
