About Jae

Jae Denson

The quote “Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education,” from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, is what motivates Jae Denson, Founder of Jae D. Educates, to provide students with a personalized coaching experience. These coaching experiences prompt self-awareness and finding the students’ true “academic fit” when identifying institutions and financial resources for the college admissions process or career promotion.

A native of Columbus, OH, Jae grew his passion for higher education at his undergraduate alma mater, Clark Atlanta University, where he became a student office assistant in the Office of the President, under the leadership of then University President, Dr. Walter Broadnax. From this experience, Jae was able to make important connections to his love of public speaking and relationship management with education. He later started his career at Clark Atlanta as an admissions counselor and tour coordinator, shortly after receiving his Bachelor’s in Public Relations.

Jae has proven time and again that he is a lifelong learner.

In addition to his Bachelor’s from Clark Atlanta, Jae Denson received his Master’s in Business Administration with a Marketing concentration from Strayer University, along with a graduate certification from Franklin University for Instructional Design & Performance Technology.

While working as the Associate Director of Admissions at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, Jae was instrumental in developing the Commitment to Access Resources through Education (C.A.R.E.) Program that recruited dental applicants from underserved areas in Ohio to help the healthcare disparities in their communities.

Most recently, Jae was the Director of Student Recruitment, Admissions & Diversity at OSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine. In this role, Jae provided direction and oversight to the development of recruitment activities and student diversity initiatives, including both K-12 and college aged students.
