Coaching Services.
My coaching is grounded in care, clarity, and deep respect for your lived experience. It is:
Approachable and non–cookie cutter because your journey is unique
Care-centered because you are always the priority
Supportive and accountable — validation paired with forward movement
When we work together, you can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can bring your full self, clear guidance when things feel confusing or overwhelming, thoughtful guidance about navigating graduate school and preparing for what’s next.
My role is to help you think clearly, move forward intentionally, and reconnect with your confidence.
What Support Can Look Like
Graduate school can feel isolating especially when guidance is unclear or inconsistent. The students I work with are capable, committed, and deeply invested in finishing their degree, but they don’t want to do it alone. Here are a few examples of what becomes possible when you have clarity, strategy, and support
Sophia came to coaching with an 8-month deadline and a dissertation that lacked cohesion. Through structured guidance, feedback support, and strategic preparation, she successfully defended her dissertation and met her deadline with confidence and clarity.
Janet, an international graduate student, sought support for grants, exams, and long-term goals while navigating a lack of faculty support. Through coaching, she learned to trust her instincts, advocate for her research, and move through her program with confidence and intention.
Many graduate students of color I work with feel overwhelmed and alone due to limited advisor support. Through 1:1 coaching, they gain a safe space, clear guidance, and the confidence to finish their degree while aligning it with the career and life they want.

What People Are Saying
“I realized how, it is not only possible to find workplaces that align with my values, but that it is important to find workplaces that align with my values…I see now that one reason I may not have had success in the past was because I was taking jobs just to have jobs and learning about the company's values or standing firm in mine. In short, my "aha moment" from our last session is TRUST EMMANUELA'S PROCESS!”

My first session with Dr. Stanislaus was amazing. The feedback and resources and provided was clear and on point. She was able to help me understand my gaps, which was something I was not getting from my chair or professors.
