Teacher Bio:
Dr. Tasha Franklin Johnson resides in Southeast Baltimore in the quaint Washington Hill community. Because of her passion for world justice and humanity, she has the pleasure of traveling the world and meeting interesting people – becoming exposed to many cultures and ways of navigating the Earth. In her daytime role, she is an educational researcher for a large youth serving organization – YMCA-USA – and in her free times she is a cucina/kitchen connoisseur. Because of her South Louisiana background, she loves to prepare Cajun and Creole dishes and merge them with international cuisines from around the world. Dr. Johnson, aka T-Freezy or Doc J – is a life long learner and educator, classically trained to work with young children and adults, with a particular focus on youth from urban and rural environments. She studied and refined her cooking craft while traveling around the world – Korea, Kenya, Uganda – and layered it with her formal degrees in history, organizational development and education from Southern Methodist University – SMU (Bachelors), Harvard University (Masters Degree) and New York University – NYU (Ph.D).
