About Me

Catherine Lowney attended St. Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana, where she discovered firsthand the value of a small liberal arts education — the personal attention and small classes that sparked her love of writing. She went on to earn her M.A. in English and American Literature at the University of Missouri-Columbia, gaining college-level teaching experience as a Freshman Composition instructor along the way — a contrast that gives her a genuine perspective on which environment suits which kind of student.

Catherine holds a CA Teaching Credential from Santa Clara University and University of San Diego Extension, and a UC Berkeley Extension College Advising and Career Planning Certificate covering everything from counseling techniques to working with learning-different, first-generation, and LGBTQ+ students. Currently a high school English teacher, she draws on an earlier multi-faceted career in sales, marketing, and school administration to build trust with students and coach them through telling their own story. She's a member of IECA and WACAC and a graduate of the CounselMore Business Development Academy.
