Creating light, productive, and enjoyable academic careers through strategic communication, authentic self-presentation, and intentional growth

Meet Dr. Jenifer Pendiuk Gonçalves

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Jenifer, researcher, mentor, and founder of The Empath Advisor. 

After 16 years inside top academic institutions, publishing in leading journals and mentoring scientists around the world, I’ve learned something very important: brilliance alone isn’t enough. Success in academia requires clear communication, strategic thinking, and the confidence to own your value.

That’s why I created The Empath Advisor. To give you the tools, support, and insight I wish I had when I started. Whether you're navigating your first paper or rethinking your academic path, I'm here to help you thrive with clarity and intention.
