Package Description:

If you are a transitioning military member and think that the standard MBA path may not fully fit but are unsure how realistic a PhD really is, this offering is for you. I've taken both paths (first a Master's degree in engineering, then an MBA, then a PhD) and this is one of the only available coaching services that translates military experience into doctoral admission without starting over or guessing. We'll start with a session and presentation pressure-testing whether a technical Ph.D. is the right move, what your career might look like (hint: it's more than crunching numbers in a lab!), what fields actually make sense, and how your military background can anchor a credible research direction. I'll build a focused school and advisor short list, and translate your experience into statements and a CV that faculty recognize as research-relevant. We also cover funding, stipends, and opportunities available so you understand next steps!


What you'll get from this package

A 1-page admissions-ready resume

A CV showcasing your career-long experience

A shortlist of programs, the advisors (inlcuding contact information), and their research interests

A presentation showing how your military experience maps well to a Ph.D. and the career path aftewards

Military to Ph.D. Transition | Ex-Navy Nuclear Officer | MBA and MEM

I have an MBA and a Master of Engineering Management, which allow me to work at the intersection of strategy, operations, finance, and technical delivery. I also hold technical certifications aligned with execution and governance (PMP, CSM, ITIL v4, COP, CPCM, CFCM). Hard technical skills include SysML and MBSE (ystem modeling and requirements traceability) Python and R (data analysis and modeling), and quantitative methods for cost, risk, and performance assessment.
