Hi, I'm Saudi

Dr. Saudi Garcia, B.A., M.Phil, Ph.D.

I am an immigrant who earned a B.A. at Brown University and an M.Phil and PhD. at New York University. I went onto a post-doc and assistant professorship at The New School for Social Research. I left that role in 2024 to help transform the Higher Education system from the bottom up with grassroots and labor organizing. Part of this personal mission includes offering supportive coaching to show as many people as possible how to Navigate the University with Dignity and Leave with Confidence.

You Deserve the World

Earning a college, master's or doctoral degree was once a sure way to enter a professional career and achieve upward mobility. But what was once a clear path to a financially-secure future is now a confusing and expensive mine field. Obstacles like high tuition costs, student debt, changing federal government regulations, the rise of AI and an ultra-competitive job market make your educational and career journey feel intimidating. The truth is things are indeed changing fast. You need the kind of support and coaching that gets you and that answers your questions.

You deserve the world: Career satisfaction, a great salary, the ability to travel, retire and raise your family with ease. All of that is possible. You deserve excellent coaching, mentorship and support to meet your career goals. That's where I come in.
