About the Founder & CEO

Christie A. Cruise, PhD
Coach and Editor
Helping You Achieve Your Goals
My name is Dr. Christie A. Cruise. I am an educator, author, and advocate. I provide culturally responsive coaching and editing for graduate and doctoral students whose work centers marginalized voices.
​
I received a Bachelor of Science from the University of Illinois, a Master of Science from Eastern Illinois University, and a Ph.D. from Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
Writing a dissertation can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. With over 20 years of experience in higher education, academic advising, and student success, I help graduate students move from stuck and stressed to focused and finished.
​
I know the challenges: writer’s block, complex research, unclear feedback from committees, and the pressure to balance it all. My role is to provide the structure, accountability, and expert editing you need to cross the finish line with confidence.
