Anna Johnson

Year Joined MKLM: 2022

Country: Tanzania

Town: Mwanza

Ministry: Anna is currently preparing for her ministry placement by learning Kiswahili.

Personal Data: Anna is a registered nurse, and before joining Maryknoll Lay Missioners, she worked on the medical-surgical floor at a hospital. She went to work as a nurse in New York City during the worst of the pandemic in that city. She and her husband, Kyle, have been foster parents, and together with their three children — Josephine (12), Collin (10), and Charlotte (8) — previously volunteered for a longer period at an orphanage in Mexico. It was that experience that led them to commit to a longer-term mission as a family.
