Biography

After obtaining her Bachelor of Arts in mathematics at the University of Virginia, Johnson later moved to the University of Washington, where she obtained her Master of Science in biostatistics. [1] She later obtained her Doctor of Philosophy there in 2002; [2] her dissertation, which was supervised by Paula Diehr, was titled Incorporating death into the statistical analysis of categorical longitudinal health status data. [3] She was also a United States Department of Veterans Affairs Health Services Research & Development trainee and a National Cancer Institute Center for Cancer Research fellow. [1]

After working in clinical research and research support at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for more than a decade, she later moved to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
