Johnson was coached by Stein Jorgensen and competed in both 200 m and 500 m distances. She trained in San Diego.
She was a surprise qualifier for the US team for the Athens Olympics, and was the youngest member of the US's canoeing and kayaking team. At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, she was eliminated in the semifinals of both the K-1 500 m and the K-4 500 m events. In the K-4 500 m her teammates were Kathy Colin, Lauren Spaulding and Marie Mijalis.
At the 2005 ICF Sprint Canoe World Championships, Johnson finished 8th in the K-1 500 m and 8th in the K-1 1000 m.

At the 2007 ICF Sprint Canoe World Championships, Johnson finished 4th in the K-1 1000 m and 5th in the K-1 500 m.
She was the first US canoeist to qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics, where she was eliminated in the semifinals of the K-1 500 m event.
At the 2010 ICF Sprint Canoe World Championships, Johnson and her teammate Krisztina Fazekas-Zur finished 10th in the K-2 500 m event, winning the B-final.
She was again the first US canoeist to qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics, winning the K-1 500 m at the 2011 Pan American Games (she also won the K-1 200 m).
