An Athens native and graduate of Cedar Shoals High School in Clarke County, Johnson, 36, joined the labor department in 1993 in the Jobs for Georgia Graduates (JGG) unit as a job placement specialist. She then left the department and worked with the Athens Housing Authority as a drug elimination coordinator, where she was responsible for administering various grants. She then returned to the labor department and has served as the assistant manager of the Athens Career Center since last August.
A former public school teacher, Johnson holds a bachelor of science degree in business administration and management from Paine College in Augusta, and has attended the University of South Florida and Manatee Community College in Bradenton, Fla. Presently, she is pursuing a master's degree in public administration, with an emphasis in organizational development and leadership at the University of Georgia.

She has held membership in the American Association of Public Administrators and is a lifetime member of the Girl Scouts USA.
