Program Overview

Harvard alumni, researcher, writer, certified executive coach, and visionary behind The Edvisory, Cathleen has helped thousands of students unlock their unique path to success and gain admissions to top-tier colleges, leading with visionary resonance, intuitive clarity, and a gift for transformation.

With a background in English Literature and Creative Writing from USC, and advanced studies across Harvard’s Graduate School of Education, Business School, Law School, Divinity School, and Kennedy School, she has cultivated an interdisciplinary approach to consulting, coaching, and education that merges scholarship, soul, and strategy.

From researching ethics and character in higher education at Harvard to getting certified as an executive coach, Cathleen draws from a rare interdisciplinary foundation—spanning literature, practical theology, psychology, leadership development and business. Her signature approach doesn’t just get students accepted; it gets them seen.

Her work began with a simple insight—no one was asking students the deeper questions. The system was pushing them through applications without ever pausing to consider who they really were.

She created The Edvisory to be what the current system isn’t: personal, imaginative, and transformational. Her team now works with students all over the world—creatives, visionaries, and trailblazers—crafting custom paths to college and graduate school that are as original as they are successful.
