Support for students and early career professionals

Have a big idea for your dissertation…
but struggling to get it done?

I can help.

If you’re like most students, your dissertation is a huge challenge.

Sometimes, the challenge comes from the science itself. You might need support pulling together your ideas into a concrete research question, narrowing in on a topic, or choosing the best set of statistical analyses to tell your scientific story.

And sometimes, the challenge might come from navigating your institution. You might be wrestling with conflicting guidance from committee members, limited availability of mentorship, or difficulty balancing research demands with the other obligations of your program

The good news? I’m here to help.

I specialize in helping students and early career scientists overcome these problems and get back on track.

No matter where you are in the process - and no matter how stuck you feel - I know how to help.

I support students with:

  • Identifying a promising idea and developing analytic and data collection plan

  • Troubleshooting problems with your data or your analysis

  • Live coaching for using statistical software

  • Bulletproofing your analysis and preparing you to confidently defend your dissertation

  • Communication issues with advisors/committee members

  • Limited availability of mentorship

  • Identifying career prospects for your post-doctoral life

  • Getting back on track after delays

  • Not knowing where to start

I’m here to help

I help students from all disciplines, but have particular expertise in biomedical and neuropsychological science. I’m Yale and Purdue-trained, but my focus as a consultant is about your education, not mine – I want to help you develop and express your ideas, rather than railroad you in a direction that I prefer.

Most dissertation consultants lock you into a large prepaid contract. I don’t do that. I work with students on an hourly basis, and you can sign up for as much or as little of my time as you need.

If finances are tight, I have a limited number of discounted slots for students — All I ask is that you promise to “pay it forward” by helping someone else when you get the chance.
