Leadership

Kristen Johnson

Kristen grew up on a small ranch in the mountains of New Mexico, where she developed a deep respect for nature and sustainability. She earned her J.D. from UCLA School of Law and chose to put her legal skills to work in the nonprofit sector — including co-founding an independent school focused on ethical leadership and diverse education. Kristen lives in the Hollywood Dell with her husband Jay and their menagerie of rescue animals, and can often be found running marathons, skiing, or building wobbly furniture.
