Meet Paulina S. Cossette, PhD
CEO OF ACADIA EDITING SERVICES
After spending 12 years in academia as a graduate student and political science professor on the tenure track, and struggling to find joy and work-life balance while working 7 days a week, I finally found the courage to leave the academy in 2019.
Since becoming a copy editor, I’ve built a 6-figure business that lets me live and work wherever and whenever I want, take real vacations without any guilt, and collaborate with kind, brilliant clients all over the world.
I’m sharing what I’ve learned with scholars who need a change so you can find joy and true time freedom, too.
