Meet Our Staff

Mrs. Johnsen- Library Aide

I came to Skyview and Colorado Springs in 2016. Prior to Colorado Springs I lived in Highlands Ranch, the mountains, and Michigan. I have been working in public education since 2000 and in libraries since 2002. I love helping students and staff find the right material for pleasure reading and research. I also enjoy helping students with projects. Outside of work I love to hang out and play with my family and friends while we bike, hike, ski or camp.
