Academia can be grueling, overwhelming, and uniquely isolating. 
I understand. I’ve been where you are. 

And like many academics, I tried to do it all on my own - and was left feeling disheartened and stagnant.

So now, after three decades in academia, I provide the services that I wish were available to me while building my academic career: 

Holistic support through developmental editing and support sessions designed to give you the emotional and educational support you need.
