Maria Johnson (Mrs. Johnson) is in her 19th year in Children’s House, her 14th as Montessori Guide, and her 4th at The Way of the Shepherd. She is so grateful to have found this community.
Maria graduated from St. Thomas in 2010 with a double major in Catholic Studies and Ministry. She went on to receive an AMI Primary Diploma from The Montessori Center of Minnesota (2011) and a Master’s in Montessori Education from Loyola University in Baltimore (2012).
She and her husband, Brendan, enjoy concerts (especially Christian music festivals), snowmobiling, hiking, and camping. They have a Shih Tzu named Gizmo, who is always up for an adventure! Their favorite places are the North Shore and their land in Wisconsin. In Maria’s spare time, she enjoys reading, knitting, gardening, puzzles, and singing in the choir at church. She LOVES music, especially singing and playing piano.
