Mentoring and Coaching

From PhD to Life

Crop-for-NathanV-150x150Dr. Jen Polk, Owner

Jen works as an academic, life, and career coach for graduate students and PhDs. To put it simply, she helps PhDs launch meaningful careers. Her two main types of clients are dissertators and career launchers. She cares about people with PhDs, not about their research or teaching or publications or “the field” or time to completion or even whether they finish graduate school in the first place. She wants her clients to do what’s right for them.

If you are feeling stuck in graduate school or as you are just finishing graduate school, contact her.
