About Me
I love working with PhD students to help them find more clarity, ease and joy in their PhD journey. I have just completed my PhD (Women's Studies, University of York) and am currently developing a coaching and doctoral training business. Join my Facebook group - THE MESSY PHD - which supports PhD students and ECRs: facebook.com/groups/themessyphd
I am passionate about exploring diverse aspects of PhD life and research, but I also have special interests in public engagement, public speaking and communication. As the UK 3 Minute Thesis People's Choice Award Winner (2018), I love helping other researchers craft excellent presentations and conference papers, and find their unique voice to confidently share their research with the world.
