Wer sie verfolgt...wird wunderliche Figuren entstehen sehen.

Whoever follows them...will see wondrous shapes unfold.

Coaching
For Individuals
Discover what kind of work will make you happy. Explore which professional communities you want to call home, and find your own voice in that space.
I have had the pleasure of working with emerging humanities professionals, interdisciplinary scientists, Ph.D. students in language and culture, and first-generation Americans, who have gone on to make an impact in diplomacy, the media, nonprofit, tech, and higher education.

For Language Departments
Over 681 language departments have closed in the United States within the last ten years. In this environment, Georgia Tech's School of Modern Languages has grown in faculty, staff, enrollments, and degrees offered.
I have been fortunate to work with numerous faculty on marketing, strategy, and curriculum to increase student opportunities, raise visibility, and integrate career preparedness into the liberal arts experience.

Jinyi Chu
Assistant Professor of Russian Studies
Yale University
"Jenny was my colleague in grad school.
When I was applying for academic jobs (in 2018), I struggled with how to put together my teaching philosophy, research statement, and other application materials. Jenny patiently guided me through them.
She explained to me what was at stake in these documents and how each document would be evaluated by the selection committee. Now, when I need to advise students, I can also share the wisdom that Jenny imparted to me.
