The doctoral journey is complex, demanding, and unlike anything most people have experienced before.

You do not have to navigate it alone.

Through Todd S. Hawley Consulting, I provide independent mentoring, academic editing, and research support for Ed.D. and Ph.D. students.

Support across the doctoral journey

Support is shaped around your program, current stage, and the work you bring.

Developing a meaningful problem of practice

Preparing comprehensive exams or doctoral portfolios

Clarifying and aligning research questions

Organizing and synthesizing literature

Strengthening theoretical or conceptual frameworks

Interpreting and responding to faculty feedback

Developing dissertation proposals and feasible research designs

Sustained mentoring to move work forward

Strengthening organization, argument, academic writing, and APA 7

Every doctoral journey is different.

Todd supports doctoral students and scholars in clarifying difficult work and rebuilding momentum. Support can begin with a practical resource or a Clarity Session to help you understand your goals, identify what is creating difficulty, and determine the level of support that best fits your work.
