Doctoral & Academic Research Support

Targeted, one-on-one support for PhD and EdD students navigating research design, quantitative analysis, and dissertation completion at every stage of the process. I help students move from broad ideas to defensible, committee-ready studies that are methodologically sound and realistically executable.

I work with students across education, public health, social sciences, and policy who want rigorous methods without losing feasibility or momentum. My approach emphasizes alignment - between research questions, data, methods, and institutional expectations - so that analyses are not only technically correct, but interpretable, defensible, and finishable.

Students typically seek support when they feel stuck translating theory into methods, choosing between analytic options, responding to committee feedback, or interpreting results in a way that accurately reflects what the data can (and cannot) say. The goal is not to over-engineer a study, but to help students make clear, justified methodological decisions that move them confidently toward defense.
