Johnson is from Coon Rapids, Minn. Throughout her college career, she has been a resident adviser and a member of St. Thomas Allies, FemCom, Festival Choir, Invisible Children, PULSE and College Democrats.

She said her favorite memory at St. Thomas was when Residence Life offered her a job as an RA her freshman year because she felt as if she had “found her place” on campus. Johnson said her greatest accomplishment has been learning life skills from the people she has met throughout her time as a Tommie.

Johnson said a unique fact about her is that she frequently cooks and uses cooking as stress-relief, so her favorite presents are cookbooks.

After she graduates, Johnson plans to work at Marketing Architects, where she had an internship this past summer.
