Johanna Okoshi
Director of Development
Originally from Syracuse, New York, I attended Cornell University, where I competed as a Division I lacrosse player while earning a Bachelor of Science in Applied Business Economics. After graduating, I pursued an MBA in Finance at Boston University, while building my professional career in finance.
Over the past decade, I have been actively involved with Boston Scores in a variety of volunteer leadership roles, including serving as Development Chair and as a member of the Capital Campaign Committee, helping raise the funds needed to build the organization's new field and facility. Most recently, I served as Co-Director of Festival 26, an international youth soccer festival celebrating the power of sport to unite young people from around the world.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing team tennis, coaching Charlestown Youth Lacrosse, and staying involved in the community through sports and youth development.

“I have a lifelong belief in the power of sports to shape character, build confidence, and create opportunities. Having experienced firsthand how athletics can teach teamwork, accountability, and leadership, I am passionate about helping more young people access those same opportunities. Flag Star Football represents the type of organization I believe in, using sports as a vehicle to develop young people, strengthen communities, and create lasting impact.”
