Client Testimonials

We know our services can be a big investment so, of course, you want to know if it works!

Don't forget, we'll always start with a consult to see if Happy Go Lucas is the right fit for you.

The smartest money I’ve spent to date. Developed a roadmap to my final defense date which helped me align around the critical actions necessary to fulfill my terminal degree requirements. I found her coaching insights valuable and encouraging. I have referred her services to several others looking for professional educational assistance.

I found Dr. Lucas on Facebook via a USC OCL cohort page. I was a bit skeptical of using an outside editing service, however, provided the feedback and high recommendations from fellow SC alums, I made the decision to use Dr. Lucas’ services. After sending her my dissertation manuscript, I got it back in about three days. This was sooner than expected! Which was nice since I had a deadline to upload my manuscript ASAP. After I made my edits, based on her recommendations, I sent it back to her for her final review. After receiving my manuscript back for the second time, I uploaded it for my committee to review and it was approved the first time! If you’re looking for a dissertation editor, I highly recommend Dr. Lucas. I’m so thankful for her thoughtfulness, thoroughness, and her expert knowledge. If I were writing another dissertation, I would most certainly use her services again! Thank you Dr. Lucas! I appreciate you!

Rey B. - Manuscript Editing Client, 2023

This service is absolutely amazing!!! I received extremely prompt service that was exceptionally done in compliance with the APA 7 format that was required. Mrs. Lucas exceeded all of my expectations as she provided me with recommendations that ultimately improved the entire Chapter 2 of my dissertation. I most certainly recommend Happy Go Lucas Academic & Professional Services.

Theresa is truly one-of-a-kind. She is organized, detailed, and committed to my educational journey. She provided timelines and recommendations and of course took care of grammar, APA, and all the academic "stuff." She's literally the best.

Angela M. - Dissertation Coaching Client since 2022

Happy Go Lucas is an unmatched dissertation support service. Navigating a dissertation is a daunting, overwhelming, and time-consuming journey. There were many moments I was nervous and unsure of what I was doing. Happy Go Lucas to the rescue. Five stars do not capture the level of support I received from Theresa, the owner. Her honesty, empathy, level of responsiveness, encouragement, and unflinching dedication to making you successful in this process will make you feel confident and supported. This experience isn’t just a business transaction. Theresa has a personalized & an integrated approach. She asked insightful questions during our initial call to ensure she understood not just my research topic & objectives, theoretical framework, methodology, etc. but also my needs and challenges. She is a subject matter expert in APA and seems to enjoy it (no seriously!), an experienced scholar, a skilled editor, has extraordinary attention to detail, and has killer instincts. Theresa helps me establish goals and she created timelines to keep me accountable. Her regular check-ins help to keep me on track. Her suggestions and feedback are very well informed, thought-provoking, constructive, and never antagonistic. I am at the beginning of my dissertation writing journey and because of Theresa, my anxiety over the process has waned. My only regret is that I had not contacted her company sooner. I suggest that anyone who feels lost, stuck, fearful, in doubt, or just need a little support, contact Happy Go Lucas immediately!

I sent out a text for help with my first 3 chapters as I was struggling after feeling so fatigued from writing. The response was very quick and the direction was honest and straightforward. There was a level of caring that made the experience even better.

Theresa is the best dissertation coach there is! She will work with you to create a schedule that works for you. And when life gets in the way, which it always does, she will help you keep on time with your schedule. She is gentle but firm, and always encouraging and cheer leading you along the way. The best part is, she will keep an eye ahead to your next milestones and help you keep that in mind as you move forward. The best compliment I can give her is to recommend her to my friends. And I have done that again and again. And I will continue to do so. As a dissertation coach, she will leave your study to you but, will help you get your point across even better than you can imagine. And all in perfect APA format!

I cannot imagine writing a dissertation without an immense amount of support to write, think, review and edit. Theresa was able to provide me with this and more. She offered APA corrections, suggestions to improve the clarity of my sentences, and provided comments on things I should consider. I’m so thankful for her service!

Theresa helped me with editing some documents last year. She was amazing to work with! She is friendly, professional, and detail oriented. Bonus - she has a quick turnaround. She is great at making suggestions and re-reviewing for final edits. I cannot say enough great things about her. Suffice it to say, I continue to work with her and tell all my friends to do the same.

Theresa's academic coaching combines expertise and discipline with support and creative challenge. Theresa provides clear structure and accountability with an encouraging, energetic approach to keep writers on track. She's a writer's writer and loves helping people meet and exceed their goals.

What stood out the most was her attention to detail, and innovative skill set. I highly recommend Happy Go Lucas to anyone looking for a quality product and excellent service.

Theresa is highly favored by me and was very helpful with my resume! Will always come back to her if I need more assistance. Consistent with time management as well. More than thankful for her and her help.

Definitely a life/game changer. Helped me to develop in two areas that I severely lacked in: professional writing (resume, exit letters, etc.) and setting a budget! The latter in these times being very important! Always goes above and beyond to keep me on track, can’t recommend enough people!

I was lucky to work with Theresa last year. She helped me navigate some difficult life situations at the time. I’m very appreciative for her life coaching skills, her ability to identify the root of the issues, the symptoms, and provide helpful resources and tools to implement on a daily to overcome obstacles and optimize a happy and healthy life. Theresa is easy to approach, she is very easy to connect with as she shared some of her life experience as well and it was nice to be able to relate in some ways. I highly recommend working with her if you are looking for life coaching, need advice on challenging situations, and if you want to work with someone without feeling judge. Thank you!
