Katherine “Katie” Coulson-Johnston
Higher Education and Career Advisor for the Big Cypress, Immokalee, and Naples reservations
Greetings! I am Dr. Katherine “Katie” Coulson-Johnston and I am excited to serve as the Higher Education and Career Advisor for the Big Cypress, Immokalee, and Naples reservations with the Seminole Tribe of Florida. I earned my Associate of Arts degree from Palm Beach State College and my Bachelor of Arts, Master of Education in Educational Leadership, and Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Leadership from Florida Atlantic University. My dissertation research focused on elevating the voices and stories of Indigenous college students’ lived experiences.
I have ten years of higher education experience both through undergraduate admissions as well as in the classroom as an Adjunct Instructor teaching college success skills. College access is very important and I am passionate about helping students navigate the transition to higher education to thrive in college! I am thrilled to use my experience to serve Tribal members accomplishing their personal, professional, and academic goals!
Dr. Coulson-Johnston’s hobbies include: Spending time with her husband Dan and dog Poe, puzzles, and reading!
