Testimonials
I could tell you all day how much I love working with PhDs to help them design careers that fit who they are—but it’s always better to hear from the people who’ve been through the process. These testimonials come directly from scholars who decided to take their futures into their own hands, redefine success on their own terms, and build lives that align with their values and expertise.
