Born and raised in Southern Utah, Dr. Johnson grew up in Santa Clara and graduated from Dixie High School. During her youth, her family raised sheep, cattle, cats, and dogs which inspired her to become a veterinarian at a young age. She attended Weber State University’s undergraduate program and graduated with a Bachelor’s in Zoology with a Minor in both chemistry and botany. From there, she was accepted into Colorado State University’s veterinary program and graduated with her DVM in 1997. She continued to practice in Ft. Collins until 2014, when she relocated back to her hometown to be closer to family.
Her interests include internal medicine, the human/animal bond, end-of-life care, acupuncture, nutrition, and herbal medicine. She shares her home with her husband, 3 children, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. They also have 6 chickens and 2 horses. She loves spending time with her family and their many critters. When she is not practicing veterinary medicine, you can find her hiking, boating, reading, skiing (water or snow), and running.
