You don't need someone to hold you by the hand. But you wouldn't mind it.

You're used to doing hard things, but graduate school or academia is taking way more time and energy than you anticipated.
​

Something is getting in the way.

​

  • You know what you need to do, but not how to do it.

  • You're buried in tasks that don't move your work forward.

  • Life brought delays and responsibilities you couldn't control.

  • You just want to get to the next step, but you also want your work to mean something.​​​

​

And you’re managing all of this without the support you actually need.​

​

You’ve already invested years and thousands of dollars in your degree or career. Walking away isn’t an option.

​​​​​​​​​​Friendly and approachable. No question is too small, no deadline too close, no moment too messy to bring to me.

​

Actually available. I’m not going to ignore your email for months. I'm not going to get caught up in departmental politics. I’m here when you need me, for a last-minute session, quick question, or ongoing support.

​

Experienced and credentialed. I've lived the highs and lows of doctoral studies and academia, and turned my research into publications, grants, and a faculty position. I know exactly what you’re facing, and feeling, too.​

​

​Personalized, effective, and fast. Every session and every piece of feedback is tailored to you and your specific goals. I don't give generic advice that you can find online. I provide clear, actionable support that moves you forward.

Personalized Academic Coaching

This is where I come in.​​​

I began working with Rebecca after taking a lengthy break from my dissertation, carrying a great deal of self-doubt and fear about returning to my research. In a remarkably short time, she helped me rebuild my confidence, rediscover my voice as a scholar, and design a realistic, motivating plan to complete my work. Working with Rebecca has been nothing short of transformative.

Rebecca was truly exceptional to work with. From the very beginning, she was attentive to my needs and thoughtfully tailored her support to align with exactly what I was looking for. She arrived prepared for every meeting, was incredibly responsive, and made the entire process feel smooth and supported. What stood out most was how she consistently went above and beyond. I genuinely felt that she cared about my work and was invested in helping me succeed, something that can be hard to find when supervisors are balancing many academic obligations. I feel so fortunate to have found her and look forward to continuing to work together throughout this doctoral journey.
