Johnson is an electrical engineer for NASA, and among her accomplishments is helping to design the International Space Station. In a recent interview with NBC Sports Boston, she explained her career and the hurdles she faced in getting there as a woman in a male-dominated field.
Johnson also explained how she thinks her unique career made an impact on her son, who is in his third season with the Celtics.
