Meet Nichole, your coach and editor
Professor of Curriculum and Instruction. Former high school English and African American history teacher.
Since earning tenure in 2012 and becoming a full professor in 2017, I have helped numerous faculty, particularly faculty of color, put their best case forward for P&T - not with the outcome of review committees as the focus, but on the process itself.
The signature 4-C framework I developed and use in Well-Prepared will support you in recognizing and effectively communicating your inherent worth in the academy.
Beyond completion of a persuasive dossier, my goal is to humanize what can be a very dehumanizing high-stakes moment so you can own your story with confidence.
If this sounds like what you need, please reach out to learn more.
How Well-Prepared works...
Week 0
Prior to your first session, provide information about your P&T process (e.g., submission date, number and length of narratives, P&T guidelines, etc.).
Weeks 1 to 2
You and Nichole define your values and connect them to your accomplishments in research, teaching, and service and to the priorities of your institution and discipline.
Weeks 3 to 8
With Nichole's guidance, feedback, and resources, you develop statements (as well as other evidence) that showcase the quality and significance of your work.
"Nichole was consistently patient and encouraging with me, but she always knew when and how to ask the tough questions. I learned so much from Nichole about the challenges and rewards of working for social justice, about leadership strategies, and about myself and my motivations for this work. My leadership goals are clearer to me now, and I am much better prepared to meet them."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you only work with faculty of color?
No. Although I specialize in supporting faculty of color through tenure and/or promotion, I have and do work with all faculty.
I am going up for Full. Is this program right for me?
Yes. In fact, the lack of support available for faculty moving from associate to full is one of the reasons I created Well-Prepared.
Do you have experience helping faculty in my [insert discipline/university type]?
I have supported faculty from fields as diverse as dance, public relations, and nursing, from research to comprehensive universities.
