Trinity Johnson
Trinity Johnson is a doctoral student studying Environmental Sciences at Louisiana State University. She holds a Master of Science in Youth Development and Agricultural Education with a focus on Science Communication, STEM Education, and Engagement from Purdue University. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Sciences with an emphasis in Plant & Soil Science from Southern University and Agricultural & Mechanical College. Trinity has had the opportunity to learn and gain professional experience in higher education, industry, and government through internships and fellowships. Notably, she was selected as a NASA Lifelines Program Fellow for the inaugural cohort, where she co-designed the Ready for Impact incubator program for humanitarian Earth Science teams seeking to scale their innovations using satellite data and tools for decision-making in crisis situations.
Trinity also served as an intern at the NASA Langley Research Center, where she collaborated with a team of researchers and stakeholders to conduct GIS analyses of environmental hazards in Richmond, VA. The intersection of these experiences cultivated a passion for natural hazards, hazard mitigation planning, and community engagement. Her research uses geospatial technology and analyses to enhance disaster preparedness, disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and resilience in vulnerable and hazard-prone communities. Outside the lab, Trinity enjoys traveling and experiencing new cultures, crafting and creating, listening to music, being in nature, and spending time with her family and friends. Trinity is a native of Baton Rouge, LA.
