Our Founder

Hello! I am Alexis Johnson, the proud Founder and Owner of Persist On, an educational consulting firm dedicated to helping student centered organizations reimagine how they support scholars to and through college. With nearly a decade of experience working alongside students, families, and organizations, I have seen firsthand how critical the right guidance and support can be in helping young people succeed.

Raised in Cleveland, Ohio I graduated from Saint Martin de Porres High School, a Cristo Rey Network school, and continued at The Ohio State University. Over the years, I have had the privilege of helping hundreds of students navigate one of the most important decisions of their lives: whether to go to college or pursue a different path.

I am proud to say that over 50% of the students I’ve worked with have chosen college, and they are persisting at rates higher than national averages for their demographics. This success is a testament to the power of intentional and personalized support, something I’m deeply passionate about delivering.
