Academic Expertise With a Focus on Language and Equity

I am Dr. Laura Monroe, a doctoral writing coach and editor with more than 25 years of experience in higher education and TESOL, and over 30 years of academic editing experience. I've edited over 1,800 master's theses and doctoral dissertations. I specialize in helping multilingual graduate students produce high-quality, university-compliant dissertations. My work bridges the gap between strong academic ideas and polished final submissions.

I understand how important your role is in maintaining standards and helping students graduate on time. My approach is supportive, professional, and always aligned with your institution’s expectations.
