Shonda Johnson-Coaching Coordinator
Shonda was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama but moved to Birmingham to attend college. She received her Bachelor of Science in Biology and Master of Arts in Secondary Education from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She has worked as an educator for over twenty years before joining ELI.
She and her wonderful husband have three beautiful children. She enjoys spending time with her family, exercising, reading, journaling, being outdoors, taking care of her plants, and studying and practicing holistic healing of the mind, body, and spirit.
She has traveled quite a bit in her lifetime, but she would have to say that her favorite place has been Amsterdam (even though she went without her daughter who is still salty about it). She is more of a tea person rather than a coffee person, and she would be considered an early bird as she finds mornings are the best time to exercise and set her intentions for the day. The most inspiring part of her job is being able to provide holistic support to our families. If she were a superhero, her superpower would be helping and guiding others into emerging as their best self. When she was five, she was pretty sure she had no clue what she wanted to be when she grew up because she was too busy enjoying being a child. She is not sure that she has a celebrity doppelganger, but her daughter says that she looks very similar to Venzella Joy.
