Building a sustainable research program
1:1 Coaching sessions
Are you struggling to remember why you loved science and thought this whole being a researcher thing was a good idea?? Do you want to find the time and energy to do the work you love instead of feeling like you spend all day reacting to other people’s demands and agendas?
You aren’t alone. Many of my clients come to me for help increasing their productivity and improving their time management, when what they really need is to eliminate the unnecessary things they’re wasting time on and start focusing on their true priorities.
As a certified professional coach with more than 15 years of experience working within academic medical centers, independent research institutes, and a federal funding agency, I provide individualized coaching to help you design a research career that aligns with your values. We’ll work together to identify, implement, and evaluate the practices and habits you need to create a sustainable research program.

Expert advice to start your project off right, giving you more time to do science
Complex scientific work increasingly requires a team science approach. You don’t have to be a team science expert to be a good team-based researcher. I can help you set up the systems and processes to support your collaborative work, leaving you more time to focus on your science. And isn’t that why you got into research in the first place?
As a team science and research leader, I have helped dozens of teams build evidence-based infrastructure to support their team’s work, including integrating team science best practices into their collaborations. This focus on strong team processes at the beginning of the project* can save you time and energy, allowing you to put that time and energy into doing the science you love.
Available services include team and staff training, conducting Collaboration Planning with your team, facilitation of strategic planning meetings, and writing team science sections of federal funding proposals.
To leverage my expertise in design, development, implementation, and evaluation of collaborative science infrastructure for your next project, schedule a consult!
*It’s never too late! If your team is struggling to work together, a quick tune-up might be all you need.
