Ashley Johnson is a 26 year old mother of one daughter, and happily married. She pursued and achieved her BA from Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia in American and European History. It was her dream to one day pursue a career in public history at the Smithsonian museum. However, upon becoming involved in an internship at the Smithsonian museum of American History, she realized she may have pursued the wrong path, or at least chased this dream at the wrong time. She already had fifteen years of dance under her belt, after graduating college and always had a nagging vision to become a professional choreographer. Her dream to become a choreographer is what initially led her into the fitness industry and the fact that she had always been passionate about her health and overall fitness. It was too late in her life to pursue another degree of dance so she decided that if she pursued a fitness certification, she could integrate two things that made her happy, fitness and dance.
