"Upon my entry into Princeton’s Graduate Program in Architecture, Erika provided me with the mentoring and guidance I needed to get through times of doubt, fatigue, and stress. After graduation, she extended her mentorship to find one of the most sought after jobs in my field."
"In my final PhD thesis year, I suffered from chronic procrastination and insecurities. I was beginning to doubt that I would ever finish. Erika assisted me in being accountable and setting critical dates weekly. Without this relationship, I would not have the PhD designation behind my name."

"What shall I do to be forever known, and make the age to come my very own?"
~ Abraham Cowley
There are many pressures and expectations that you face as you make professional, academic and life choices. These pressures mount as you prepare your dissertations, thesis or major paper. Many students feel alone, are under financial pressure, and feel out of balance as they try to juggle thesis work, jobs and home life. There may be moments when you wonder if you will actually complete your program. The challenge is to find your own voice, your own path and your own definition of balance.
