I started Doctoral Mom Incorporated to assist my peers with navigating the doctorate process. Moreover, we face a number of unique needs by balancing school, work, motherhood, and relationships. I was a first-generation, minority, low-income student and now I am creating opportunities to women across the globe. I welcome you to support this incredible mission by volunteering or donating.
