Individual Support Sessions
Academia can be a solitary and isolating endeavor,
but it doesn't have to be that way!
If you're dealing with an academic-related issue (check out the topics below), but you don't feel quite comfortable confiding in someone within your professional circle, I'm here to help.
I get that academia is a small world, and it can be tricky to know who to trust. Plus, you don't want to add to your colleagues' already-packed schedules.
That's where an individual support session with me comes in! Whether it's a one-time session or a series of individual sessions, we can work through it together.
As a 25-year educator, half of those years spent in academia as a tenured professor and administrator, I've got you covered.
Whether you need to make a tough decision or just want someone to talk to, I can provide the one-on-one support you need.
And here's the best part: our sessions are strictly CONFIDENTIAL.
So what are you waiting for? Schedule a session (even if it's last minute!).

tenure dossier 101
What are the must-knows when it comes to earning tenure? You have heard different things and need clarity and perhaps, a step-by-step plan. Let's talk through your own context and learn strategies and approaches to facilitate your way to tenure.
work life balance. and integration
Is work life balance possible in academia? Work-life balance looks different for everyone, and what works for one person may not work for another. You get to decide and it helps to have a soundboard and guide. Let's talk about the possibilities.
career direction
So, once you get tenure, what's next? Many academics continue to grind as if they were pre-tenure even when they have earned it. But, what do you REALLY want to focus on? Let's explore it.
academic writing
You are working on an academic piece and need some feedback and guidance. You would reach out to someone you know, but you don't want to impose, you want to ensure quality advice, and/or you can't wait until they may be available.
the campus interview
You landed the campus visit! How can you make the most of your time with potential future colleagues and present yourself in a way that is both authentic and effective? Let's prepare for it together so you can feel confident going in.
when to quit
The taboo subject - leaving academia! You have been thinking about leaving academia but don't know where to go from here. If nothing changes, nothing changes. Let's talk about what would truly make you happy.
starting an academic side hustle
You need a side hustle but have no idea where to start. You kind of would like to do something similar to what I'm doing as a developmental editor and guide, or you have an entire other talent that can be monetized. Ask me questions. Let me share the lessons I have learned running a successful academic business. STAY TUNED FOR L.E.A.P. - LEARNING ENTREPRENEURSHIP AFTER PROFESSORSHIP: A Small Business Accelerator Program for former/current academics. Coming soon! If you are interested in being part of the first cohort, let me know and tell me more about your plans.
a challenging issue
You are facing a challenging academic-related issue and need a soundboard and perhaps some guidance. Academia can be political and toxic at times. You want to address this challenge in a safe, confidential space.
