1:1 Coaching
I help scholars design the meaningful work lives they want.
You have an insatiable curiosity for knowledge and a desire to positively impact the world through research, teaching, community engagement, or other endeavors. Yet, the constraints and pressures of academia can sometimes make it difficult to do your best work.
Perhaps “publish or perish” hums in your ears, and you know that securing an academic job or tenure requires publishing more than you have time for.
Perhaps you went to graduate school because you love teaching and public scholarship, but the academy's priorities leave you with little time to make a difference.
Perhaps you enjoyed your time as a doctoral student or precarious instructor, but full-time academic opportunities are uncommon, and you worry you won't find rewarding work outside the ivory tower.
In coaching, we work together to help you rise above the challenges of academia to rediscover your inner brilliance and better the world around you through your work.
A little about Jenn:
Having experienced firsthand the pressures and obstacles scholars face during my own PhD studies at the University of Washington, I understand the challenges of navigating academia's publish or perish mentality.
I embarked on a personal journey to learn how to publish and thrive while maintaining work-life balance, successfully applying these lessons during my tenure-track position at the University of Texas at Austin, where I received numerous awards for my research and teaching.
After some deep soul-searching (read about that here), I resigned from my faculty position in 2024 to focus on what truly ignites me: helping scholars design careers aligned with their values to effect meaningful change in society and for the planet!
The sky is the limit!
In coaching, we can focus on
Devising strategies to write and publish more in the academy and beyond.
Developing more work-life or work-work balance.
Crafting a game plan for navigating academic milestones and culture.
Exploring alternative career paths outside of academia.
And much more!
My mission is to build a community of scholars who are inspired, resilient, and equipped to spread change like a constellation of fireflies, illuminating the globe through our collective work.
