For over a decade, I have informally mentored and advised graduate students and early-career scholars on various aspects of academic life, including navigating the job market, preparing job applications, preparing book proposals, publishing articles and books, negotiating salaries, and thriving in the academic environment. To better recognize the value of my time, expertise, and knowledge, I am excited to launch an official consulting program. This program will involve a modest fee, designed to benefit junior scholars while also ensuring my contributions are appropriately honored.

For all your academic inquiries, make an appointment. There will be a modest fee for all consultations.
