Coaching Services

I’m willing to bet you started graduate school with interest, passion, and drive. If you now feel like you’ve lost some of that and, as a result, struggle with motivation, you are not alone.

I work with faculty, graduate students, and other academics one-on-one, in teams, and groups to help identify and leverage strengths so you feel excited to engage with your studies. When you work with me, you will better define your goals, identify your resources and challenges, reduce your stress, and better manage your time.

I have experience with a wide range of academics, but have special interests in supporting students in education and STEM fields, those maintaining full-time jobs while pursuing higher-education, and graduate students who are also parents.

  • I meet with my individual coaching clients 2-3 times per month, and follow up regularly using an informal chat application. Coaching clients can also receive asynchronous writing feedback each month.

  • Being “on the academic job market” is unlike any other job application process. I can help you highlight your strengths so you can better tell your story to search committees and help you land the right job for you. See my page on job market coaching for more details.

  • Graduate student coaching happens either individually or in groups. Group coaching focuses on writing productivity, and up to 10 graduate students twice a month to build connections for ongoing support and accountability. Individual graduate student coaching can be tailored to fit your needs.

    Prices are adjusted for graduate students. Please reach out for more information.

Assistant Professor, College of Education

“I was in a state of extreme overload, having committed to too many projects and having lost my direction and feeling of purpose. Through her 1-on-1 coaching, Katherine not only helped me manage my time and workload to see my projects to completion; but she also helped me develop a series of questions to hold myself accountable in the future. Her commitment to helping me refocus my goals and direction within my professional work was incredible. She is truly a skilled coach and mentor whose guidance will have a lasting impact on my academic career.”
