At Ariosa & Company, Sara Johnson’s main role is as service department coordinator. An avid learner, Johnson continues to expand into other areas of the construction business, including project management, accounting, and accounting. Johnson also serves on ABC’s Women in Construction Committee (WABC).
How did you get involved with WABC?
As a former BCPS high school math teacher, I was looking for a professional
trade organization committee in which my prior experiences and skills would be
of use. I was immediately drawn to WABC and the ABC Education & Training
Committee based on their commitment to not only enhancing opportunities for
women in the field of construction, but also a dedication to supporting the
future of construction through local high schools and training programs.
What’s your passion as a WABC member?
My passion as a WABC committee member is centered around outreach and
providing female students exposure to the limitless possibilities offered by a
career in construction. My experiences in the classroom allow a unique
perspective on how to connect with teachers, counselors, and students in order
to foster an interest in a field that is frequently overlooked by women.
What are your goals for the construction
industry?
I look forward to working with WABC to continue to provide students with field
trip opportunities to visit active job sites and the chance to network with
women in different aspects of construction. It is my hope that through our
events and relationships with Maryland schools, students will continue to take
advantage of the WABC Scholarship and mentorship opportunities. Together we strive
to move towards decreasing the workforce shortage and capitalize on the
incredible potential that lies within the young people of our neighborhoods.
