Research is hard. I can help. The process of designing and implementing a scientifically rigorous project or scientifically-informed product is so important for the advancement of science. Yet all of the skills and steps involved can be confusing and overwhelming. I have designed and/or managed over 50 research projects in my career on a wide range of topics using diverse, advanced quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods such as multiple regression, structural equation modeling, multidimensional scaling, and hierarchical linear modeling as well as qualitative methods such as narrative interviewing, focus groups, and document analysis.

I am available for speaking engagements and workshops to discuss my own research as well as broader social and political issues facing science, research, and academia. I have spoken to both student and faculty groups, as well as non-profits and businesses. Notably, I have presented at over 30+ conferences all over the world - from here in my backyard (Philly) to as far as Hong Kong. I would love to learn more about your event and compose a custom presentation for your audience.

Being a productive and efficient writer is not a skill typically taught in graduate programs. It is a skill, like any other, that must be learned and practiced. And like any new skill, it requires commitment, vigilance, and support. My writing coaching consists of bi-weekly coaching calls. Together we will map out a current project and break it down into manageable chunks. We will set long and short-term goals that you will track daily.

One of my greatest love is writing. But it was not always this way. With so much unstructured time, it was difficult for me, as it is for many academics, to prioritize projects and to actually sit down and write. They say one of the most intimidating things to face as a writer is the blank page. Through my own personal experience and my research into the psychology of productivity and writing, I have ample experience busting through the external and internal barriers that get in the way of our writing.
