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 is taking way more time and energy than you anticipated.
​

Something is getting in the way.

​

  • You're told what to do, but not how to do it.

  • You're stuck overthinking the next step, alone.

  • You just want to finish, but you also want to finish well. 

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

​​​

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

​

You’ve already invested years and thousands of dollars. Walking away isn’t an option.

​​​​​​​​​​Friendly and approachable. No question is too small or too “stupid.” If you’re thinking it, it’s worth asking.​

 

Experienced and credentialed. I’ve been through doctoral studies myself, and come out the other side with publications, funding, and a faculty position. I know exactly what you’re facing.​

 

Actually available. I’m not going to disappear for months. I’m here when you need me, for a last-minute session, quick question, or ongoing support.

 

​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 and Editing Support

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.

I came to Rebecca because I wanted a better strategy for applying for the PhD. She took me down from chaos to calm. I got a ton of clarity, real advice, and practical tools like a goal tracker so I can prepare for a stronger application. In my 3 sessions, she gave me detailed feedback on my application materials, new ideas to develop my research plan, and a personalized application strategy.
