How I can help you write better papers faster

Feeling stuck, confused, or behind?
Let’s change that.
Research in academia can be fun and difficult, both at the same time. But if you assume that you'll learn everything you need to be successful in grad school or afterwards, you're dead wrong. Sorry to break it to you.
Most of the time, you'll be expected to pick up things on your own.
Things like writing papers, giving talks, and presenting posters - the stuff that will make or break your career afterwards.
And if you're overwhelmed with too many projects, not sure what to focus on, your motivation is going downhill, and your advisor isn't available as much as you'd like, then you know what I'm talking about!
Welcome to the right place!
