"I would like to thank Keri Alexander Luchowski and Shannon O'Brien for giving me the opportunity to work alongside them, league administrators, and student-athletes across the North Coast Athletic Conference,” said Johnson. “I look forward to bringing my passion for intercollegiate athletics to a conference with such a rich history and success."

Prior to her work with the Swarm and within the athletics department at the University of Iowa, she served as a training camp intern with the Kansas City Chiefs, as a graduate student intern with the Iowa Hawkeye wrestling camps and as an intern to the Commissioner at the American Rivers Conference (A-R-C).
