About Me
My name is Jennifer Johnson. I currently reside in Ocean Beach, California. I moved to San Diego from the San Francisco Bay area in 2006 to obtain a Bachelors Degree at San Diego State University. Upon my graduation in 2009, with a degree in Art-Applied design for jewelry and metalsmithing, I continued working in the field of veterinary medicine as that had been my employment experience since 1998. The year was a difficult one, economically, and the veterinary field had been my extended work history for which I took comfort in the job security it provided. I had been a technician for 10 years and continued as a veterinary receptionist upon completing a college degree, but it was not my passion. I found myself burned out and wanted to pursue a different career, one that would support me financially, facilitate my artistic endeavors, and would allow myself to feel pride and passion for being a part of, but I had yet to discover what this would be. Feeling very unsatisfied with where I was, I quit my job of 3 years at the veterinary hospital and started working at a charter school as an after school activities instructor in 2012. I was unsure of my change in direction but I desired something different, something that was completely outside of my comfort zone and unlike my previous work experience. I was soon to discover what I had been unaware of up until that point and what would fulfill my desired career experience. It proved to be an unexpected epiphany that I could be a patron for social services and use my previously acquired, veterinary patient care skills to support work related to childhood development and education. I had not anticipated the great personal satisfaction and joy it gave to me in the process. I soon thereafter began to pursue a career as an elementary education teacher.
