How Does This Work?
Engagements are tailored to the needs of each client and typically take the form of project-based consulting or ongoing advisory support. Most work begins with an initial conversation to assess scope, goals, and fit, followed by a clearly defined plan of work.
I am committed to making high-quality research support accessible, particularly for doctoral students and early-career scholars. I understand the financial realities of graduate study and work with clients to identify engagement structures that align with their goals, timelines, and available resources without compromising methodological rigor.
FAQs
-
I have supported hundreds of clients across doctoral programs, applied research projects, and institutional evaluations. My work spans a wide range of disciplines and methodologies, with a consistent focus on research design, analytic rigor, and clear methodological reasoning.
For doctoral clients who have worked with me through the full research and defense process, I am proud to share that all have successfully defended their dissertations or theses. While outcomes ultimately depend on the quality of a student’s independent work and committee expectations, my role is to help ensure that research decisions are defensible, clearly articulated, and methodologically sound.

I work with doctoral students across a range of applied and research-focused programs, including EdD, PhD, DNP, DrPH, and DBA programs, as well as early-career faculty navigating research design, data analysis, or evaluation projects. My work is especially well-suited for individuals working through complex methods, analytic decisions, or high-stakes methodological questions.

That is completely fine. Many engagements begin at an early or exploratory stage. Part of my role is to help clarify research questions, refine scope, and identify appropriate methodological paths as projects take shape.

The best way to determine fit is through an initial conversation. This allows us to discuss your goals, timeline, and needs and determine whether my expertise aligns with what you are looking for.

Academic advisors guide students through disciplinary expectations and scholarly development, while research consulting provides targeted methodological and analytic support. My role is to help clarify research design, strengthen justification, and interpret feedback, while all substantive decisions and writing remain the client’s responsibility.
-
Item descYes. Ethical research consulting focuses on guidance rather than authorship. I do not write dissertation sections, run analyses without client understanding, or make decisions on a client’s behalf. All support is designed to build capacity, strengthen reasoning, and ensure that the researcher retains full ownership of their work.ription
