As a graduate of Atlanta Public Schools, Dr. Artesius Miller has seen, hands-on, the economic disparities and
academic challenges facing Georgia classrooms. And as a visionary leader with impeccable credentials and
a heart for public education, he rises to meet those challenges, pushing students and staff to achieve at high
levels.

As the recipient of a prestigious Gates Millennium Scholarship, Dr. Miller earned degrees from Morehouse
College (B.A., Economics, 2009), Teachers College, Columbia University (M.A., Education Leadership, 2011),
and the University of Georgia (Ph.D., Educational Administration and Policy, 2016). Dr. Miller began his
professional career in financial services as an analyst with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, respectively.
Then, in 2009, he tackled a job that would change his career path. He served as a College Access/Mentoring
Coach in Bridgeport, CT, and at a local charter school in Brooklyn, NY. He helped students through the college
application/financial aid process, coordinated college tours, and established school partnerships with
scholarship programs, including the UNCF Gates Millennium Scholars Program.

When he relocated to Atlanta in 2011, Dr. Miller accepted a job in education operations. He worked as the
Operations Analyst and Business Development Manager for Mosaica Education, a national educational
management organization. He identified opportunities for company growth, developed and coordinated
charter school proposals and presentations, established relationships with corporate partners, non-profit
organizations, community leaders, and vendors, and more.

Dr. Miller longed to work with students as had in New York. He left his corporate job to work in a nonprofit. From
2011-2012, Dr. Miller served as Program Director for the Steve Harvey National Mentoring Program for Young
Men, where his work included planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling program activities. He
saved more than $300K in operating budget expenditures, developed initiatives to support the strategic
direction of this empowering foundation, and secured understandings with national colleges and universities to
award scholarships to program students.
