@djuanjohnson
I lead college-access programs that help first-generation students enroll and succeed.
What I'm looking for
I've led college-access programming at EMERGE Scholars, supporting more than 40 high school seniors through applications, financial aid, and enrollment.
Previously, as Associate Director at Beyond 12, I managed 10 college coaches, led two hiring cycles, and developed KPIs and OKRs across the program team and organization.
Across EMERGE Fellowship, Houston ISD, and Advise TX, I've helped students secure millions in scholarships, improve FAFSA completion, and gain admission to target and top-tier colleges. I'm currently pursuing a Master of Education in Higher Education Administration focused on Student Leadership & Development.
