More About Dr. Yvonne Gooden Johnson

"I’m a big traveler. I love exploring new places and cultures. I’ve been to about five countries, and I’m always looking for new ways to see the world. An activity that I am very strongly involved in is volunteering. I try to volunteer several times every month. I find it is a great way to give back and have community involvement. It helps me to grow my inner self and avoid becoming self-focused. I enjoy meeting different people, not just other volunteers, but I also hear the stories of the people we help."
