Package Description:

Interested in graduate school? Exploring what you want to do next? How do you know it’s time for graduate school? What kind of graduate degree do you want to pursue? Together, we explore how career goals drive grad school success, and help you decide when to apply to graduate school, what programs are right for you, and how to do it. This coaching package is perfect for college students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals who are exploring how and when to attend grad school. This 6 (six) coaching session package includes six 60-minute 1-on-1 sessions that will be delivered over Zoom. I will include up to 3 revisions for essays/ Statements of Purpose and 2 mock interviews for your programs of choice. I will be available to answer questions through email or your messaging platform of choice within 24 hours. This package is perfect if you just want guidance, accountability, and a sounding board, but you don’t want to be handheld through the entire process of applying to graduate school.


What you'll get from this package

A clear outline of your short-term and medium-term career goals and how graduate school aligns with those goals

An action plan and timeline for how to apply to graduate school

Revisions for up to 3 (three) essays or Statements of Purpose

Coaching delivered via live sessions.

In your career, there are no easy and straightforward answers about how you should land that job or to find a field that you're going to thrive in. As you go through your career, you will always be changing, developing, and learning. A career coach is someone who can go with you on that journey, offering a personalized, action-oriented, and non-judgmental perspective to help you reflect on and achieve your career goals, no matter where you want to go. A career coach can help you define your desired goals, help you articulate when you've achieved them, explore thinking, resources and strategies around making them happen, and reflect on the kind of person you want to become through achieving these goals. With expert knowledge in careers, I will guide you in exploring careers, developing your career, and using job search tools and frameworks. With a coaching mindset, I will help you develop your ability to be a self-aware, self-directed learner in your professional life. You won't always have a coach working with you, or even a professor, mentor, or friend looking out for you in the working world. How will you make career decisions? Set goals? Execute plans? Understand your own priorities? Our end goal will be for you to feel confident because you know you have what it takes to figure it out on your own.
