Psychology 

Hi, there! 

My name is MJ Johnson, I’m a Junior originally from Fridley, Minnesota, though I’ve lived most of my life in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I’m a Psychology major, pursuing certificates in Business & Economics, and Social Science Research. I plan on earning a Doctorate degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, researching to improve the workplace from a theoretical standpoint. I truly believe I wouldn’t have discovered this path without the incredible professors and connections I’ve made through the College of Arts & Sciences. A&S offers one of the most supportive environments, and there is a path for everyone.

In addition to being an Ambassador, I’m a student in the Lewis Honors Rising Leadership Program, President of Flex in Full Color, K-Week leader. I’m also in Jessica Bray’s SCIP Social Lab, where we research person perception within intergroup contexts. I’m excited to continue getting involved on campus because UK is such a welcoming and vibrant place. In my free time, I enjoy weightlifting, listening to new music, trying new food, and going shopping. 

 I’m honored to serve alongside such an inspiring group of individuals in this innovative college, to give back to A&S. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!
