Academic careers look different in the
arts and humanities.
Your career support should be different, too.
My mission is to help academics in the arts and humanities navigate systems that weren’t built for them.

Testimonials
Angie’s guidance has helped me obtain three positions, two of which have been on the tenure track. She has a keen understanding of what institutions are looking for and how to focus materials to address those needs. She has played a pivotal role in both starting and advancing my career.
- Dennis Sloan, Assistant Professor, Director of Theatre DePauw University
Dr. Ahlgren’s compassionate guidance was invaluable in navigating the complexities of securing a tenure-track position. Angie played a crucial role not only in my job search but also in helping me understand the various career paths available to me after graduate school. She generously shared numerous resources, facilitated connections with peers, and provided evidence-based strategies to effectively frame my academic experiences. Her support was instrumental in tailoring my approach to suit the specific demands of my current role as an academic dean.
- Mohamadreza Babaee, PhD, MFA Assistant Dean of Diversity & Inclusion, The University Graduate School Indiana, University Bloomington
Angie and her approach to career coaching has been a wonderful resource as I approach the academic job market this year. She provided the perspective I needed when thinking through the legibility of my teaching and research skills across academic disciplines. The feedback she provided on my application materials enabled me to speak more clearly and fluently about my unique qualities as a candidate.
– Teri Incampo, PhD
I am an International student (Black) in a predominantly white institution where people don't always have answers for me. Angie is kind and thoughtful, but I also needed her to be straightforward and specific. And she delivered. Where some might hesitate to answer certain questions to avoid discouraging me, Angie carefully shared the reality of my situation. Because of our coaching sessions, I now have the tools to move forward in my career. I have two job interviews lined up and am prepared for pending applications.
