Read on to learn more about Hannah, Catherine, and Sahil.
Hannah Johnson
Hannah received her degree in business with a minor in linguistics in 2017 from Covenant College. She comes to us from the BBA Program Office where she was pivotal in establishing the Office of Student Life (OSL) operations and procedures that currently support McCombs Affiliated Student Organizations (MASOs) and the McCombs Leadership Program. Notably, Hannah was instrumental in the execution of OSL’s large student-facing events such as Commencement, Gone to Business, and more. We’re happy Hannah has joined our team where she’ll be taking on the vital role of Senior Administrative Associate.
Catherine Campbell
As a native Houstonian, Catherine has always been a dreamer with a Texas-sized heart. She dreamed of getting a Division I basketball scholarship in the third grade and accomplished that by accepting an offer to play at SMU where she received her corporate communications and public affairs degree in 2010. She traded her basketball shoes for immobile shoes attached to a boat where she rowed and received her master’s in Sport Management at Indiana University.
Catherine previously served as the development officer for the Hildebrand Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering Department at UT Austin. Other positions at the University of Texas included assistant director of donor relations and events for The Longhorn Foundation, development assistant for the T-Association, marketing and sales representative at The Erwin Center, and assistant director of marketing at Indiana University.
In addition to her higher education career, she has had unique opportunities to work in both Hollywood and healthcare. She served as the director of football operations for the movie “My All-American” based on the incredible life of UT football player Freddie Steinmark and legendary football coach Darrell K. Royal.
Catherine joined Alzheimer’s Texas in March 2020 to lead the organization as executive director and serve as chief development officer where she raised over $850,000 and received the Brodsky Innovation Grant, a national award presented annually from the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.
Catherine firmly believes in higher education and is excited to help the next generation of Longhorns change the world. Catherine’s extensive experience in corporate relations, fundraising development, communications, marketing, project management, and events have helped her become a successful driver of ideas, projects, and teams.
We’re pleased that Catherine will be joining the Canfield BHP team in her capacity as a Career Coach for Texas CSB in addition to the business honors program as a whole.
Sahil Maherali
Sahil Maherali graduated from UTSA with a degree in Communications in 2018. During his time doing his undergrad, Sahil completed multiple internships ranging from a marketing agency, in-house marketing at a nonprofit, and healthcare consulting. After graduating, Sahil moved to Austin to work in an L and D role at Dell where he worked as a team lead across three sites helping to centralize and develop their training content for new hire support agents, sales reps, and other rotational programs. After his time at Dell, Sahil was an Onboarding Consultant at Cision where he worked in Customer Success with top Fortune 500 companies, universities, start-ups, and other organizations. Sahil also served on the First Generation team at Cision and helped start the build of their future campus recruiting program for equitable recruiting.
Outside of work, Sahil volunteers with numerous organizations and holds multiple leadership roles. Sahil is the National Project Manager for the Ismaili Professionals Network where he oversees all professional development programming for college students and recent grads and has scaled a team of 2 to 46 over the course of a year and helped source 185+ opportunities during the pandemic. Sahil is also the National Team Member on the Training Team for Camp Mosaic, a 7 day camp for participants across the US held in 13 cities. Lastly, Sahil volunteers with Alpha Kappa Psi, a co-ed professional business fraternity, as a Section Director overseeing 4 chapters.
We’re excited to have Sahil join our team in his capacity as a Career Coach for the entire Canfield Business Honors Program as well as Texas CSB.
