With a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Washington and extensive experience as a faculty member, academic administrator, writing advisor, and program director at UCLA and the University of Washington, I have a deep understanding of the academic landscape and the skills needed to get offers and succeed in graduate programs. Through my work with AnotherDegree.com, I assist graduate students and grad and professional school applicants to get the personalized mentorship they need to support their academic ambitions. I have directed competitive academic programs and created experiential learning courses that prepared thousands of students for graduate and professional school degrees. I received a Faculty Mentor Award through UCLA. Through my career I have taught and mentored 1000s of students to achieve their academic goals and attain funding and scholarships. As an independent business consultant and appointee to numerous selection committees, steering committees, and advisory groups for higher ed organizations, my knowledge of graduate school admissions practices is not limited to how things have been done, but how they are evolving. This gives me insights into what admissions committees are looking for in the next generation of scholars. My interdisciplinary academic background spans sociology, history, science and technology studies, and education studies. I’ve won several competitive fellowships, including awards from DAAD and FLAS, and bring extensive experience in archival research, comparative case studies, survey design, interviews, statistical analysis, and holistic program assessment. My approach is comprehensive, focusing on research skill-building, values reflection, professional development, and strategic application planning for getting you into the programs where you will thrive. In all my work, I’m committed to providing guidance that makes the “hidden curriculum” visible, democratizes access to knowledge production, and empowers diverse learners to navigate academic and non‑academic career pathways with clarity and confidence.

I help aspiring researchers and PhD applicants navigate research pathways, program and faculty fit, funding, and application strategy. Across more than 20 years in graduate education, including leadership at MIT and graduate admissions work at Harvard, I’ve supported students through research opportunities, admissions, fellowships, mentoring, and doctoral development. We can work on program and faculty fit, applicant-authored statements and CVs, recommender strategy, faculty conversations, interviews, funding, and offer comparison. Sometimes our work is about strengthening an application. Sometimes it is about discerning whether a particular degree, program—and the mentoring, funding, community, and environment around it—is truly the right next step. My role is not to promise an outcome or write your application for you. It is to help you understand the process, make informed choices, and move forward with clarity.
