Ms. Johnson started teaching at NCNAA last year and fell in love with the profession. While pursuing her teacher licensure from Lindenwood University, Ms. Johnson will remain on the support staff as the ESOL instructor.

Ms. Johnson attended the University of North Carolina in Asheville and lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains for 8 years. During her time there she worked as a full-time nanny, and birth doula.

While continuing to teach at Nahed Chapman New American Academy, Ms. Johnson hopes to learn more about the specialized field of guiding English Language Learners and hopefully learn to speak a few different languages herself!
