Scholarly Transitions Services

My work combines coaching and consulting to help PhDs take ownership of their careers by turning uncertainty into direction. Through reflection and strategy, I provide scholars with tools in career design, storytelling, and strategic planning that empower them to identify their options and act on them intentionally.

Whether you’re exploring possibilities within or beyond academia, reimagining your current role, or planning your next step, this process is designed to help you build both clarity and confidence. You won’t just leave with a résumé/CV or job title—you’ll leave with a framework for navigating every step ahead.

A Consultant’s Strategy, A Coach’s Support
Most career challenges require both: someone who can offer practical tools and actionable insight, and someone who can guide you in applying them in ways that align with your values, goals, and identity. My approach brings these together, offering:

• Strategic consulting to help you translate your skills and experience across sectors.

• Coaching to support reflection, mindset shifts, and sustainable decision-making.

• Practical frameworks that make the career exploration process clear and repeatable.

• Consistent structure and accountability to keep you moving forward without feeling pressured or overwhelmed.

Coaching + Consulting Options

• Individual Coaching: One-on-one sessions tailored to your priorities and pace.

• Group Coaching: A supportive community that blends accountability, shared insight, and collective growth.

• Hybrid Packages: Combine both for reflection, strategy, and community as you navigate your transition.

You already know how to think deeply, learn quickly, and solve complex problems. My job is to help you apply those same strengths to designing a career that feels purposeful, valued, and free.

A Customized Plan Just for You

While group coaching creates a powerful sense of community and shared learning, sometimes what you need is focused, individualized support. After working with many clients, I realized that most didn’t fit neatly into pre-determined coaching packages. Some needed more space to work through imposter syndrome or decision-making. Others came in having already polished their résumé but wanted to focus on networking or interview prep. What became clear is that everyone’s journey looks different—and trying to squeeze people into a rigid, one-size-fits-all program risks missing their real needs while rehashing things they’ve already handled.

That’s why my coaching is built around customization. You choose a package based on the number of sessions that feels right for you, and then together we design a coaching plan that reflects your goals, challenges, and priorities. No cookie-cutter paths. No unnecessary extras. Just a process tailored to you.

With this approach, you’ll feel supported where you most need it—and you’ll know that every session is working toward the career you want, not someone else’s idea of what you “should” be doing.

Clarity Package

Time: 6 sessions over ~2–3 months

This package gives you a focused space to dig in and make real progress without feeling overwhelmed. Maybe that means fine-tuning your job materials, building confidence for networking, or mapping a new direction. Each client uses this package differently—and that’s the point.

Who this is for:

• PhDs who want targeted support in one or two priority areas.

• People who are ready to take action quickly with tailored guidance.

• Clients who value a process that adapts to their needs, not a generic checklist.

Cost: $1,650 (Pay-in-Full $1,500)

Momentum Package

Time: 9 sessions over ~4–5 months

Sometimes, you need more time and partnership to stay consistent and move through multiple layers of your transition. This package gives us room to balance both strategy and mindset work—whether that’s building your job search materials, practicing interview skills, or working through imposter syndrome so you can show up with confidence.

Who this is for:

• Clients who know their goals but want steady accountability and deeper guidance.

• PhDs juggling internal barriers (like self-doubt) alongside external challenges (like navigating a competitive job market).

• People who appreciate a flexible, adaptive approach that grows with them.

Cost: $2,450 (Pay-in-Full $2,250)

Time: 12 sessions over ~6 months

This is the most comprehensive container I offer—a partnership where we can walk together through the entire arc of your transition. From clarifying your direction to negotiating an offer, we’ll shape the process around you. If you need more space for reflection, we’ll make it. If you want high-energy accountability, we’ll lean into that. Every step is designed to meet you where you are and get you to where you want to be.

Who this is for:

• PhDs who want full-spectrum support, from exploration to applications to interviews and beyond.

• Clients who know they thrive with ongoing accountability and a trusted advisor by their side.

Each client uses this package differently—and that’s exactly the point. It’s flexible enough to meet you where you are and focused enough to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
