Conducting an honors senior thesis was no little undertaking as an undergraduate student. From becoming familiar with the research process/steps, developing my own research question, to successfully carrying out the project to the finish line, was both a challenging and rewarding process. I had such a great support system and mentorship along the way, which I believe was the greatest contribution to the successful completion of my thesis. Dr. Johanna was one of the people who significantly helped me and offered support throughout the entire process of my senior thesis. As an undergraduate student, I was new to the research process, so it was very much a learning process for me. Dr. Johanna played a critical role in helping me gain a better grasp of the research process and how to effectively carry out or implement each step. She was very knowledgeable of the components of research and was able to easily explain it to me, without getting too technical. She was also very resourceful, in that she would offer me useful sources to look into, such as books/textbooks, and websites, which I found very helpful. 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. She was always mindful of the fact that I had hard deadlines I needed to meet in order to graduate on time. She provided me with her feedback on my papers, responded to my emails, and made sure to always keep me in the loop if there was anything new that came up. Further, Dr. Johanna’s passion for research and the public health field clearly shows in her work, which further increased my appreciation for research and passion for the public health profession. 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. As someone who has once been in my shoes doing her own research, she was very relatable and understood the pressure I had on my plate. 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. Dr. Johanna was even at my defense to support me, which meant a lot. It was a privilege and an honor to have had Dr. Johanna as my mentor while conducting my honors senior thesis. To this day, Dr. Johanna is still my mentor, whom I look up to and still reach out for advice, support, and encouragement.

Testimonials

“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.”

- Eboni A., Doctoral Student, Bellarmine University

“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.”

- Kimberly T., Master of Public Health Student, University of Nevada, Las Vegas

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.
