Meet Charli
Principal Coach, International Education and Storytelling
Charli Taylor is a globally recognized coach, international education strategist, and irrepressible champion of human potential. As the founder of EduVentura, she brings over 25 years of experience in international higher education, guiding thousands of students from more than 50 countries into world-class institutions—including Oxford, Cambridge, the Ivy League, and other top universities across the globe.
Her career began with a passion for international development—earning a master’s in Diplomatic Studies and led to on-the-ground work across the Middle East, Vietnam, the former Soviet Union, and beyond. From leading recruitment, admissions, and partnership development for powerhouse universities like Cornell, Exeter, and Brunel Law School, to creating scholarship programs with government ministries, She served on the Committee on International Education under then- Mayor of London Boris Johnson. Charli has seen firsthand how global education transforms lives, communities, and countries.
Early in her career, Charli served as Managing Director of Westminster Business Consultants, where she coached students in career development while leading real-world consulting projects for major clients like Peugeot and Danone Galbani. She also helped embed the firm into the European Network of Junior Enterprises, giving students the chance to collaborate across borders and build international experience from the start.
She also played a key role in the launch of SIFE (now Enactus) in the former Soviet Union—organizing its first regional competition in Moscow and helping create a platform where students could develop entrepreneurial leadership skills while driving social impact in their communities. It was one of her earliest moments of witnessing what happens when education and purpose collide—and she’s been hooked ever since.
She’s designed bespoke training programs for national governments, collaborated with educational ministries in places like Türkiye, Palestine, India, and Azerbaijan, and worked on the ground in more than 50 countries across EMEA, Asia, and the Americas. She’s also sat in the rooms where admissions decisions are made—reading thousands of applications and advocating fiercely for the ones that told the truth with heart, clarity, and vision.
Charli helps students and seekers uncover their deepest values, aspirations, and the golden thread of their story. Her process is equal parts strategy and self-discovery, transforming applications into declarations of purpose.
Charli's students become the kind of leaders, thinkers, and global citizens the world needs now. And they do it with courage, clarity, and heart.
Why students (and parents, and professionals) love working with Charli:
She’s a strategist, a storyteller, and a coach who goes all in. Charli has trained in executive presence at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, earned certifications in mediation and negotiation, and is a certified hypnotherapist—helping clients unearth the deeper stories within them. She is currently training in Jungian coaching, deepening her ability to guide clients through powerful inner work that supports lasting growth, clarity, and self-trust.
She’s helped everyone from first-gen college students to seasoned professionals, mid-career parents to scholarship recipients from conflict zones. She knows what it takes to make a big leap, because she’s made many herself—and she’ll walk beside you every step of the way.
When she’s not helping amazing humans chart bold new paths, Charli can be found adventuring with her hilarious, brilliant son - a third culture kid.
