​Many doctoral students are told to focus only on research; yet questions about career direction, confidence, and life beyond academia begin far earlier. SheThrivesPhD has evolved into a focused mentorship experience designed to help women move through their PhD with clarity, strategy, and awareness of the opportunities their training can open.
This is not coaching. It is guided reflection, perspective, and intentional planning from someone who has walked the path.
Who This Is For?
​This mentorship is designed for women who are:
-
In Years 1–3 of a PhD at a Canadian institution
-
Unsure how to shape their doctoral journey intentionally
-
Curious about non-academic/industry pathways
-
Wanting to translate research skills into broader impact
-
Seeking structured guidance without overwhelm
Programme Details
​Format

Eligibility
This mentorship is currently open to women enrolled in PhD programs at Canadian institutions, particularly in the early stages of their doctoral journey (Years 1–3).
