​​How did Dr. Walden become a dissertation coach and editor?

​​Several of you have asked how Dr. Walden got into academic coaching: It simply evolved. About 1990, after several years as a public teacher, tutor, and editor, she earned certification as a Teacher Support Specialist (teacher mentor). Thereafter, she spent a couple of years mentoring new teachers and teachers on probation for a large school district in metropolitan Atlanta. This certification, her other certifications, and degrees made her a candidate for higher education; consequently, a local university hired her to teach and supervise teacher candidates in the graduate degree program.
Dr. Walden supervised teachers on the job during their practicums. She did this work in addition to teaching high school, mentoring teachers, and teaching graduate courses at different universities in and around Atlanta. It just seemed natural to start tutoring grad students, and then several of her former grad students sought her out to help them pass required tests or prepare their theses or dissertations. Therefore, she started a small online coaching business. In 2010, she retired from teaching and shifted the part-time business into a full-time one. She has been coaching doctoral candidates and learners for more than 35 years. Dr. Walden lives in a suburb of Atlanta with her  Yorkie-Shih Tzu, Mimi Mimosa.
