Krista Johnson
Education
A University of Iowa graduate, Johnson covers education for the Pulitzer Prize-winning Louisville Courier Journal. She previously reported on education issues in Alabama for the Montgomery Advertiser. Raised in the west end of Davenport, Iowa, Johnson believes in the strength and culture of a place, and strives to tell stories that are for a community, not about it. Aside from her passion for local news, Johnson likes cooking and loves feeding people. In her off time she can be found searching for the hidden gems of Louisville's food scene, exploring a thrift shop or chatting up strangers at a watering hole.
