Request a Consultation
A brief conversation to discuss your dissertation stage, needs, and institutional requirements.
Schedule a brief, no-obligation consultation to discuss your dissertation goals, current stage, and institutional requirements. This conversation helps determine whether my supervision approach is a good fit for your needs.
During the consultation, we may discuss:
Your degree program and university expectations
Your dissertation topic or area of interest
Research design and methodological considerations
Where you are in the dissertation process
The type of support you are seeking
Consultations are intended to clarify next steps and answer questions about supervision. No academic work is completed during this session.
Please note: I do not write dissertations or complete academic work on behalf of students. All support is provided in accordance with academic integrity standards.
Please complete the form below to request a consultation.
This information helps me understand your dissertation stage, research focus, and institutional requirements before scheduling a conversation.
About Dr. Lisa Hammond
I am an experienced dissertation supervisor and research coach supporting doctoral and master’s students through the dissertation process. My work focuses on helping capable students navigate research design, academic writing, and institutional expectations so they can complete their degrees with clarity and confidence.
I hold a doctorate and have supervised and supported research across qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods, and manuscript-based dissertations. My approach is grounded in academic rigor, ethical practice, and respect for each student’s institutional requirements.
Students I work with often feel stalled, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps despite being highly capable. I provide structured guidance, clear feedback, and steady support to help students move forward while maintaining academic integrity.
My areas of expertise include organizational studies, leadership, project management, sustainability, digital transformation, and education. I work collaboratively with students at different stages of the dissertation process, from proposal development through final defense.
