Cassandra Johnson

I'm in the biotech/event planning/nonprofit fundraising/rare disease awareness/project management industries. I'm also a recovering stay-at-home mom to three children, including b/g twins. I freelance, contribute golf content for a local magazine and author books for nobody to read because I am terrible at PR.

I love and live for my three children. I am devoted to raising money to fund a cure for and awareness of SMA--the number one genetic killer of babies and young children--and running my own annual charity golf event. I am active in the special needs community and am an advocate for accessibility and awareness.

I divide my time between Phoenix and San Francisco.

I am also devoted to cheese. I wish for a scholarship to cheesemonger school like a little girl wishes to become a princess. My New Year's resolution is to eat LESS cheese. I haven't had a wheel of brie for dinner so far this year, so I'm optimistic. Talk rennet to me.

A few personal accomplishments of which I'm most proud:
