Here’s what people have said about working with me:

“Sylvanna is one of those rare academics who retains a keen sense of equity and justice as she navigates the maze of institutional power structures. Sylvanna encouraged me to negotiate a higher base salary at my current job. She took the time to study my job offers and helped me advocate for my needs.”

“With Sylvanna’s help, I learned how to manifest and articulate clear writing goals and strategies that were actually achievable, relevant, and compelling. As a first-generation woman of color in a teaching and service-heavy institution,  I 100% recommend Sylvanna’s services to anyone who wants to reconfigure their writing practice and protect their health and well-being as they navigate academia.
