"Working with DC has been enlightening to say the least. Our three sessions gave me some new directions for my diss and I have gone from struggling to write anything to wondering how I'm going to fit it all in."
Glen Charlton, CA
“DC helped me decide between two topic possibilities that I'd been considering for some time - with her help, I was able to get going very quickly. It's been four months since then and I'm now on chapter three and can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel."
Meghan Papola, TX
"I needed help with a travel grant application. My two sessions with her paid for themselves since I received the grant, which more than covered my expenses. Thanks Dissertation Coach!“
Only a few years ago, I was in the boat you’re in now.
Going into the seventh academic year of my PhD program with a director impatient for chapters, my situation was compounded by the fact that I had a considerable amount of transferred coursework that was approaching "expiration.” Needless to say, the pressure was on to graduate that academic year.
Starting the writing phase around mid-November, my 200+ page dissertation was completed - and successfully defended - by mid-April the following year. This timeframe even included a month-long vacation to Hawaii!
