Helping Academics Write and Live with Compassion, Authenticity, & Power

I am an educator, scholar, and entrepreneur who provides editorial, educational, and emotional support to academics who are planning, in the midst of, or about to birth to an important project or journey.  


Since 2010, I have supported faculty, graduate students, and higher education professionals write and live with compassion, authenticity, and power.

Services

My services cut through the ambiguity of the academic writing process as well as the complexity of academic culture by giving you the space, guidance, and tools to meet your academic needs.
Academic life can be grueling.
​I know - I've lived it, but like many academics, I tried to do it all on my own.
I'm here to tell you - you are not alone in your struggle, and it is imperative that you find support. Let me help you in the ways I wished someone had helped me in my academic journey.

You’ve sacrificed so much to get where you are. You know it’s time to get help, whether in big or small ways, but you don't know who to ask or where to go.  You've come to the right place.

Imagine having an engaging thought partner, a meticulous editor, a caring accountability person, and a compassionate guide who meets you wherever you are, without judgment, authentically, and skillfully.
It's time to invest in yourself and get the support you deserve.  I'm here for it.

"I was so relieved to find Dr. Chang. I really needed an experienced eye and developed writer to take my writing to the next level. She was able to review my work and sharpen all the areas I was struggling to fine tune. Once she returned my document, I was amazed at how well she was able to edit my work with such precision. I recommend her one thousand times without reservation."

"I was feeling very stuck in my proposal writing process- particularly, I was having tremendous difficulty with my literature review. I enlisted the help of Dra. Aurora Chang and her thoughtful, strategic feedback really strengthened my writing and synthesis.  I appreciated receiving her feedback in such a timely manner, and her knowledge around dissertation writing and APA formatting.  She has been a lifesaver, and I look forward to continuing to work with her as I move through my dissertation.  Thank you, Aurora for your support and feedback - it helped me move forward."
