Welcome! I’m Vanessa Johnson-Pearson the founder of Aspire2Inspire LLC, a space dedicated to uplifting children, parents, and educators through coaching, storytelling, and transformational learning experiences.
I am a Certified Youth Empowerment and Resilience Coach, a Leadership Specialist, and a Procurement Contract Manager with over 15 years of combined experience in behavioral health and procurement execution. My unique career journey blends heart-centered service with strategic leadership—giving me the tools to help others grow both personally and professionally.
​
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a concentration in Childhood Studies, and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a focus in Healthcare Management. My background has allowed me to support children with behavioral challenges, guide families toward lasting progress, and equip educators and professionals with tools to lead effectively and compassionately.

Through Aspire2Inspire, I’ve made it my mission to help children build confidence and resilience, coach parents toward clarity and success, and empower educators to strengthen classroom and community engagement.

Whether I’m leading a youth workshop, facilitating a family enrichment session, or consulting with schools on professional learning strategies, my goal is always the same:

To inspire growth, create connection, and help every child and adult I work with become their best self—academically, emotionally, and beyond.
Thank you for being here. I look forward to working with you and building something meaningful together.
