The exercises that Dr. Johanna created resonated with me in a way that helped me to gain more clarity about my skills and how I might apply them in this next phase of my life.

I am delighted to share my testimonial for Dr. Johanna and her exceptional academic consulting services during my journey to my second doctorate. From our very first interaction, it was evident that Dr. Johanna possessed an unparalleled depth of knowledge and a profound understanding of the intricacies of doctoral research. She has provided invaluable guidance in refining my dissertation proposal, research questions, timeline, and plan. One of the standout qualities of Dr. Johanna is her ability to provide insightful and constructive feedback. She meticulously reviews my work, offering great suggestions to improve the quality of my research and expand my horizons as a scholar. Her commitment to excellence is unwavering, and I always feel she is genuinely invested in my success. Dr. Johanna’s unfaltering support, flexibility, and confidence-boosting have significantly impacted my success as a doctoral student and university mid-level administrator. I highly recommend Dr. Johanna for her unmatched dedication, expertise, and client commitment. She is a true game-changer in academia and research.

I've partnered with Dr. Johanna and Premexcellence on multiple public health consulting engagements and will continue to do so. Dr. Johanna's public health knowledge, expertise, and research skills have consistently exceeded our clients' expectations. Not only does Dr. Johanna develop methodologies and processes, she is able to manage both small- and large-scale projects while serving as an objective advisor making recommendations to improve project and program outcomes. Any team or organization working with Premexcellence are in good hands.

I enjoy working with Dr. Johanna in The Excellence Lab, and I cannot recommend the experience highly enough. With her guidance, I could identify and prioritize my career values and strengths, develop a plan for achieving them, and gain confidence to apply them to my current work. Thanks to her help, I feel more focused and motivated in my current role and have a clear sense of direction for my future career. In addition, after participating in The Excellence Lab, I have been able to tap into my strengths of creativity and innovation and find ways to use them in my current Epidemiology role. If you're feeling stuck or uncertain about your professional path, I highly recommend participating in The Excellence Lab – it could be the best investment you ever make.

Dr. Johanna came to me at a very critical time in my life. My mental health was at an all-time low; I had gotten out of a long-term relationship; and I felt stuck and stagnant with my career and education goals. I grew personally and professionally as time went on. Dr. Johanna brought several things to the surface that I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. She was able to see my full potential and highlight the characteristics that made me who I am, and by the end of it, I was able to see those same things. Through my journey, I rediscovered my hobbies/passions, reconnected with friends and family, got a great new job, and applied and was accepted to several graduate programs. I would very much recommend this program to anyone with similar feelings who needs someone to help guide them and keep them accountable through their journey!

I’ve worked with Dr. Johanna since the spring semester of 2019. At the time, I was completing the first of two research practica. I can say that she is one of the most skillful Research Scientists that I have worked with. She possesses great skill in quantitative research methodology, scientific & research writing, and her professionalism and timeliness in completing tasks is exemplary. Dr. Johanna also has a unique ability to translate what she knows and pass that down to others so that they may reap the benefits of her understanding of complex topics. For example, as I was entering my dissertation phase, I had the opportunity to sit with Dr. Johanna as she explained the theory behind regression analysis and the nuances of running and interpreting a regression on SPSS 26. She taught me more in that hour than I’d learned during the 32 weeks of Intermediate Statistics and Hierarchical Linear Modeling that I’d taken as part of my PhD coursework. Her tutorial was the reason why I was able to successfully complete my dissertation data analysis in two days. This example confirms not only her skill but also her desire to pass that knowledge down to others. If your goal is to submit a high-quality dissertation in a timely fashion as well as gain skill that will be useful to you later, in your academic and professional career, I would strongly recommend Dr. Johanna’s consulting services!

Dr. Johanna is an outstanding consultant, who distinguishes herself in public health research. She is very inquisitive and asks questions to clarify material to facilitate her learning. In addition to understanding theoretical concepts, she strives to apply the concepts to real world situations. Dr. Johanna assisted me with mentoring undergraduate students who were completing a research thesis from the UNLV Honors College. Dr. Johanna was instrumental in assisting the students with their data analysis for their projects. Each of these students received various awards on campus for their work. Students always find her to be engaging and appreciates her ability to explain complex concepts in ways in which they are able to easily grasp and understand.

Dr. Johanna is an extremely skilled and talented coach. Her thoughtful assessment of a situation has helped me to overcome barriers to moving forward in my career. What I loved most was how Dr. Johanna consistently reminded me of my values and purpose which she helped me identify for myself. I feel so much more confident in this stage of my career and feel prepared with the tools received from this coaching experience. Within a few months of implementing the skills learned from Dr. Johanna’s coaching, I am happy to share that I’ve been promoted within my department to a Senior-Level position. Dr. Johanna, thank you for believing in me and seeing things within me that I had yet to see for myself.

My time with Dr. Johanna was very beneficial and I didn't realize how much I needed it until after we completed our first session. Her professionalism is evident from the outset. Dr. Johanna was very efficient at helping me go inward to discover solutions, using what abilities I already possess to gain results. She is really good at using vivid imagery and/ or metaphoric illustrations to paint a clearer picture to come to a resolution. Not only did she give me the right tools to help with my situation, but she also made sure I put them to use and held me accountable. She was personable with me which made it easier for me to open up and trust her to share my experiences. At the end of each session, I left feeling much better about my circumstances with a sense of clarity. I always look forward to my future sessions with Dr. Johanna, updating her on what I was able to implement. Dr. Johanna is the top tier of coaching and someone I would most definitely recommend to any and all.

Joining the Premexcellence Academy was the best decision I made to help me finish my thesis. After 3 years of feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and burnt out, Dr. Johanna worked with me to provide structure and compassion. Her resources and feedback have been immensely helpful. I truly believe I would not execute this as successfully without her support and the support from others in the Academy.

Dependable, knowledgeable, insightful, and professional are just a few of the many characteristics to describe Dr. Johanna. She is an excellent writer and an astute researcher who is keenly aware of data analysis. For example, Dr. Johanna was ever so patient in giving me a crash course on quantitative research. As a refresher, she taught me how to effectively use SPSS software in the matter of a two-hour session. Dr. Johanna is also very timely and efficient with turning around manuscript edits. She provides sound advice and constructive feedback that is trustworthy, clear, and concise. Her ability to guide others in a way that they can truly understand the various concepts of research and writing is her most outstanding quality. Plus, she does this in a very supportive manner. You will not find a better public health consultant than Dr. Johanna!

I received coaching with Dr. Johanna for over a 6 month period; I was torn about how to expand my business. I truly enjoyed working with Dr. Johanna. She is approachable, warm, and supportive while engaging in problem-solving pertaining to my business's future. I believe Dr. Johanna’s design and optimization are largely responsible for my new business perspective, and also for overall holistic and personal wellness. She is easy to work with, thinks creatively, and effectively communicates her ideas. She has been an asset in my professional life, and thus she has my highest endorsement.

The coaching services provided by Dr. Johanna have been beneficial in setting my personal and professional goals. She always made sure my goals were aligned with my values and that my values were holistically reflected. This process has helped me to uncover my life's purpose and the characteristics I already had within me to work towards living in my purpose. Dr. Johanna's caring spirit made the process easier and a true joy to work with her.

Dr. Johanna was one of the people who significantly helped me and offered support throughout the entire process of my senior thesis. She was very knowledgeable of the components of research and was able to easily explain it to me, without getting too technical. As I proceeded on with my thesis, Dr. Johanna was always within reach and easily accessible. She made it easy to reach out to her with any questions, concerns, or anything else I wanted to discuss. Her dedication to my research project, her willingness to always help, offer me resources, and her thorough revision of my work, and feedback have allowed me to successfully complete my thesis and even publish the paper in a well-known journal. She was always willing to share her own experiences with me, which made it very comfortable to talk to her. Dr. Johanna worked with me through every step of my research, offering her own experiences, enhancing my skills, providing me with resources, and staying involved throughout the duration of the yearlong project. Dr. Johanna was also always very supportive and encouraging. Her positive comments about my strengths and how well I am progressing through the research process was very motivating for me to pull through to the finish line. It was a privilege and an honor to have had Dr. Johanna as my mentor while conducting my honors senior thesis.

Dr. Johanna's career coaching was the necessary transformative learning experience I did not realize I needed. I met Dr. Johanna during her Dissertation Writing workshop at the 2022 Black Doctoral Network Conference in Atlanta, GA. Her session was extremely well organized and thorough so I was frustrated that I had not met her before I enrolled in a different writing coaching program the week prior. Yet, still I participated in her free consultation call and remained in contact, because I knew that I wanted to work with Dr. Johanna at some point during my career. After successfully earning my PhD, I still felt uneasy about my decision to remain in academia. Therefore, I enrolled in Dr. Johanna's career coaching to receive much needed assistance in reimaging an impactful and meaningful career for myself. Dr. Johanna's 6-month career coaching program helped me to align my postdoctoral research career with my purpose and values. I am most excited about the growth I have experienced in being able to advocate for what I need from an empowered place. Thank you Dr. Johanna for your excellence in coaching, engaging Excellence Lab curriculum, and commitment to me during my journey.

Dr. Johanna is an inspiration to me! I am a middle-aged woman who was going through a tough time in my life and was trying to see the best way that I could cope with it. I wanted to talk to someone who I can trust and understand how I was feeling so that I can get some help. During my first session with Dr. Johanna, she welcomed me with open arms, listened to my story, and stayed neutral yet understanding and helpful at the same time. At this point, I knew that I had chosen the right person to coach me through my difficult time. I now see things in a different light. I also learned to cope with whatever life has to offer because I am in a better place now. I highly recommend Dr. Johanna to my friends and family who might need the same help as I did!

Working with Dr. Johanna on my senior thesis was an incredible experience. Not only was she able to meet me where I was with my project, but she built my skills and expertise week by week, ultimately improving my abilities as a researcher. She always answered my questions with detail and knowledge and pushed me to consider my project in ways I hadn’t before. It was in great part because of her efforts that my research was so successful – both in content and in presentation. Beyond the day-to-day activities of our work, she also always ensured that our relationship was beyond the project. Throughout our time together, she served not only as my mentor but as my coach, ensuring that my life experiences were considered as much as our work. Because of this, there was never a time I did not feel ready to conduct my research. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a mentor, coach, or both.

As a busy and seasoned professional, I was increasingly burned out by my job. I knew I needed a resource to help change this mindset. However,I didn’t find anything that resonated with me until I attended Dr. Johanna's Premexcellence® workshop on designing a meaningful and rewarding career path at Hofstra University. A light was sparked within me, and I enrolled in her coaching program, The Excellence Lab. Now, I have a trusted and knowledgeable Career Coach as a partner who helps me be my best. Since we started working together, I have completed two professional certificates and increased my professional advocacy within the past year! I recommend Dr. Johanna to anyone who wants results for their career path.

You can always come up with 'what ifs' and doubts to move forward in life and while I find myself to be a very self-aware and optimistic person, I too fall victim to overthinking and worrying from time to time. Dr. Johanna reminded me of the leader I have within myself who has overcome doubts and has set aside 'what ifs' in other aspects of my life. She made me question "why should this situation be any different" and that introspection was invaluable. Dr. Johanna and I meet virtually, but it feels like she is with me, in the same room, every step of the way through my introspection and contemplation. Dr. Johanna will hold your hand (figuratively) and give you the much needed space to tap into what courage and strength you have inside you. Her genuine, caring, and calm demeanor makes our sessions a safe space - always, but don't get me wrong when I need a kick in the butt to wake the heck up and rid my thoughts of doubt and judgment, she brings the fiery energy I need.

Dr. Johanna helped me reach my goal to finish my doctorate degree this year. Her warmth, care, and professionalism, allowed me to focus on my research, writing and editing. Her encouragement and support that led me to contact my IRB was a game changer for me. I will be forever grateful to her for executing her organizational skills, expertise about the doctoral process, and her flexibility that made each of our sessions meaningful. I would advise anyone embarking on the doctoral journey to make a wise investment and enlist her help.

Dr. Johanna’s mentorship benefitted me because it gave me another person to ask questions to when my advisor wasn’t available and made me feel as if support was always available to me. Because Dr. Johanna spent much time reading through my thesis and other research to prepare for helping me with my data analysis, I often felt she was much closer to my project than my other committee members. This allowed me to trust in the ways she advised and critiqued my thesis. Over the year in which Dr. Johanna has been my mentor, she has often given me support in a multitude of ways, but especially emotional. Her words of encouragement have helped me tremendously throughout the more stressful parts of my project, and I often look to her for advice regarding my future in academics.

Dr. Johanna was an asset throughout my dissertation experience. Her knowledge of the academic process allowed many questions to be answered and provided me with greater confidence when submitting and presenting the material. She has greatly contributed throughout my journal article-writing process with editing suggestions and a thorough review of cleaning and analyzing quantitative data. Her warm, approachable demeanor immediately put me at ease. She patiently answered my questions and gently provided suggestions as needed. She has an in-depth understanding of the academic setting, as well as engaging in research within the "real world." I highly recommend working with her!

Dr. Johanna helps me tremendously in completing my professional paper. The goals we set together are realistic and assist in keeping me on track throughout the writing process. Her knowledge and research expertise aids in having a deeper understanding of my research. She has even given me the tools to navigate this time with my committee chair. Her positive spirit and encouragement make her a pleasure to work with and is vital throughout this long process. My last step towards graduation is completing my professional paper and I don't think I could have come this far without the help of Dr. Johanna.

I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance of Dr. Johanna throughout my doctoral journey. Over the past year, she has been more than an academic coach—she has been a mentor, a strategist, and a source of unwavering encouragement. From the very beginning, she believed in my potential and helped me navigate the challenges of my program with confidence and clarity. Through her coaching, I gained a deeper understanding of the intervention I wanted to conduct for my dissertation. She helped me see how my class assignments could be maximized to support my research, turning each step of the journey into a meaningful building block. Her ability to break down complex processes and provide structure was invaluable, and with her guidance, I developed a personalized weekly schedule that transformed my time management skills. One of the most powerful tools she introduced me to was the DIADS (Daily Intentional Actions Designed for Success) strategy, which became a game-changer in setting and achieving my academic and professional goals each month. With her thoughtful insights, I was also able to navigate a significant career transition, ensuring that my next steps aligned with both my purpose and my long-term vision. Beyond the academic support, what makes Dr. Johanna truly exceptional is her kindness and genuine investment in the success of her students. She has created an incredible community where encouragement, accountability, and excellence are the foundation. Being a part of this space has been inspiring, and I have no doubt that her impact reaches far beyond just academics—it extends into the lives and futures of everyone she mentors.

I cannot recommend you highly enough to anyone looking for a mentor who truly cares and is committed to their success.
