Individualized support tailored to your unique research journey, designed to help you move through each stage of the dissertation with clarity and confidence.

I provide research design and methodological guidance, specializing in qualitative, cultural, critical, and decolonial approaches, to ensure your study is both rigorous and aligned with your goals. Together, we work on theoretical framing, connecting your research questions to the broader scholarly conversations that give your work depth and credibility. I also offer hands-on support with literature review development and synthesis, helping you move beyond summaries to craft a compelling, critical narrative.

As you write, I provide feedback on chapter drafts and revisions, mentoring you in finding and strengthening your scholarly voice. To sustain momentum, I help you build accountability plans and progress-tracking systems that keep you moving forward. Finally, our coaching sessions emphasize reflexivity, identity, and positionality, ensuring your research not only meets academic standards but also authentically reflects your perspective and commitments. This holistic approach is designed to help you thrive intellectually and emotionally while completing your PhD.

Personalized guidance to help you design and carry out rigorous, well-grounded qualitative research. I offer support in framing research questions, selecting methodologies that align with your goals, and ensuring coherence between your theoretical and conceptual frameworks. Together, we build a research design that is both practical and theoretically robust. We’ll explore a range of qualitative methodologies and methods — including ethnography, narrative inquiry, discourse analysis, arts-based methods, participatory action research, and decolonial approaches — so you can develop strategies that best capture the complexity and depth of your topic.

I also assist with the practical aspects of research, from preparing IRB applications to developing interview protocols, focus group guides, and fieldwork plans. As you collect and interpret data, I help you integrate reflexivity and positionality into your process, strengthening both the rigor and authenticity of your work. This coaching equips you with the confidence, skills, and methodological clarity to carry your project forward and contribute meaningfully to your field.

Targeted support to help you navigate the often complex and time-intensive stage of qualitative data analysis. I provide hands-on guidance with coding, whether you are using digital tools like MAXQDA or NVivo or working through manual processes, ensuring your approach is systematic and aligned with your research design. Together, we explore analytic strategies such as thematic, narrative, and discourse analysis, allowing you to interpret your data in ways that are both rigorous and deeply connected to your research questions. Throughout this process, I emphasize reflexive engagement, helping you recognize how your own positionality, assumptions, and theoretical commitments shape your interpretations. The goal is to move beyond mechanical coding toward meaningful insights that can be transformed into compelling findings and strong dissertation chapters, journal articles, or conference presentations.

Comprehensive guidance to help you strengthen and refine your academic writing at every stage of the doctoral process. I offer detailed support with dissertation proposals and IRB preparation, ensuring your project is well-framed, methodologically sound, and compliant with institutional requirements. For those in the writing phase, I provide chapter reviews with in-depth feedback on structure, argumentation, clarity, and flow, helping you build coherence across your dissertation. I also work closely with you to develop academic writing skills—focusing on clarity, style, and scholarly voice—so your work is both rigorous and engaging.

Focused, interactive sessions designed to give doctoral students the tools and confidence they need to strengthen their research and writing. These topic-specific workshops address key aspects of the dissertation process, such as conducting and synthesizing literature reviews, learning practical strategies for qualitative coding, and applying theoretical frameworks effectively to research questions and findings. Each workshop combines clear instruction with guided practice, allowing participants to immediately apply new strategies to their own projects. Participants also benefit from discussion and peer exchange, creating opportunities to learn collaboratively while receiving expert feedback. Whether you are at the early stages of framing your study or in the midst of analyzing data, these workshops provide structured, supportive environments where complex tasks are broken down into manageable steps and practical skills are developed for long-term success.
