I attended Wallace State Community College and transferred to Auburn University, where I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in International Business with a specialization in Spanish and Marketing. I worked in various roles as a Human Resource Specialist for 5 ½ years and owned two successful small businesses for 7 additional years. While owning The UPS Store, I also worked as the Marketing Director at United Way of Cullman County.

Then, my path led me to Wallace State where I taught and mentored for 14 years. Prior to the business start up, I spent four years learning all the inter-makings of a real estate office as the office manager at ERA Waldrop Real Estate.

I am married to Jeff Johnson who is a Business Professor for Athens State University and Wallace State Community College. We have two wonderful children, Payton and Luke, a Goldendoodle named KodaBear, as well as four German Exchange Lifelong Kiddos Anna, Marlene, Erik and Maybrit.
