Dr. Cathy Mazak is a Full Professor of English at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez and writing coach entrepreneur.
On this episode we talked about Dr. Mazak’s work centering around writing scholarship. She coaches women on how to make writing fit within their work and family schedules.
Dr. Mazak ascribes to the belief that academia is a white, male patriarchal institution that was not designed with women in mind.
She also shares with us how her unique coaching business on writing led her to take a leave from her teaching job—without pay—which in turn is leading to a level of financial independence she never dreamed of.
