Pay It Forward

Navigating the PhD application process can be difficult and scary. I’ve been there! I couldn’t have gotten through it without help from some current PhD students who generously offered their own time.

To pay it forward, I offer free support to students preparing to apply for PhD programs.

I’m happy to help explore programs, provide feedback on essays, offer advice on the process, discuss the realities of being a PhD student today, or anything else you would find helpful. For essay/personal statement feedback, please contact me at least 2 weeks before they are due to ensure I have time to thoroughly review your materials.

Schedule a meeting and submit materials (I’m serious! I’d love to chat)

This will and will always be free of charge. If you find my services helpful, I only ask that you either:

  1. Pay it forward and help someone else in the future or

  2. Make a donation to a cause of your choice (I suggest the Hoosier Hills Food Bank)

If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me :)
