Keren Segal – Founder and Research Mentor

My research background is multidisciplinary, with a PhD in Psychology and an MA in Sociology and Anthropology. I have taught research methods to students at all levels in a variety of institutions, and I’m passionate about mentoring students and guiding emerging academics as they develop their research skills — from initial ideas to publication.
I love helping early-career researchers gain confidence, improve their writing, and take meaningful steps toward building a successful academic career.
I’m here to walk this path with you as you grow and achieve your goals!
