Hi! I'm Maria,
I got my PhD from Harvard in 2016, and my dissertation journey taught me a lot about how to be a successful and productive scholarly writer. I have taught numerous students at Harvard and Columbia Universities and advised them on how to improve their academic writing skills.
As someone who defended just a few years ago, I know what you’re going through. When I was writing my dissertation, the pressure to create an excellent document was high. I know how paralyzing it can be to strive to be perfect. I had made mistakes along the way, that slowed down my work. And I’m here to help you avoid those mistakes so that you can finish faster and move on with your life!

What others are saying
Yibing Bai, PhD student, California, United States:
"Maria has changed my mind and attitude towards dissertation writing. I experienced some serious writing anxiety, but after a Zoom meeting with Maria I got completely unstuck, because she understood so well what I needed. This is the amazing thing about her: she understands very well what your problem is and gives a specific and useful advice. Her coaching helped me overcome many of my mental blocks and just start writing."
Pratibha Lamichhane, PhD student, Sydney, Australia:
"I am a third-year PhD student and in the critical stage of completing my thesis. I was lost, confused, and full of self-doubt until I found Maria. Maria asked me to write a succinct problem statement which helped bring back my focus and gave me a better direction in writing my chapters. Over 3,5 months of coaching she helped me sharpen my critical thinking and dramatically improve my writing. I have found myself a lot more productive as a result of working with her. Although my advisors are supportive there remain hierarchical boundaries that prevent me from discussing some issues with them. Maria bridged that gap and helped me reduce my worries. I am grateful to Maria for her time, effort, and patience in mentoring me!"
Madeleine Newsome, PhD student, Massachusetts, United States
"I have been working with Maria since January and she has helped me tremendously with my dissertation. I did not have a sense of direction before I started working with her and I felt so much better after we talked. Maria has the ability to ask really insightful questions and identify where the problem is.
Most importantly, I have been able to nail down my argument and get a lot of clarity on my dissertation structure. Maria is really shrewd when it comes to defining where my original thinking is as compared to everyone else's ideas. I wish I had found Maria sooner!"
