How has the Writer’s Exchange professional coaching/editing support promoted your academic and/or professional success?
I am an engineer by training and spent my career perfecting the one-page memo. Scholastic writing has been one of my biggest challenges throughout this program. Although my writing has improved dramatically, I still relied on WEX to assure this dissertation has the professionalism, credibility and polish suitable for the university and the topic.
What advice would you give to others writing a dissertation?
This last stretch of the PhD program is all-consuming. The dissertation will be with you as you sleep, work, exercise and cook dinner. WEX is the last step in a long journey. If you can afford to, pay them to make corrections. If not, we are starting a scholarship for just this purpose. Apply and be Ph-Done!
What are your next steps in your academic/professional career?
I will be teaching a Master’s level supply chain course and have already begun submitting articles about my research to appropriate journals.
