SN Jacquline Johnson is our newest Veteran of the Week!

She is a Navy Veteran who served as an E3 Seaman on the USS Sierra for four years, stationed in Charleston, SC, with opportunities to travel and serve in Italy, Spain, Turkey, and Portugal.

Currently, Jacqueline works for Charleston County Government, where she is certified in Alcohol and Drug Counseling. With over 10 years of experience, she serves as a counselor for the Adult Drug Court and Veterans Treatment Court programs, helping individuals who struggle with substance abuse—a population she refers to as the "forgotten" ones. Jacqueline is deeply passionate about her role and finds purpose in witnessing the transformation of her clients from incarceration to graduation. While the work can be emotionally taxing, especially when she loses patients to overdose or incarceration, Jacqueline remains determined to offer second chances to those seeking recovery.
In her free time, Jacqueline enjoys watching her favorite television show, Walker Texas Ranger, gardening, and spending quality time with her family. She is also an active member of New Life Christian Fellowship Church, where she has been a dedicated attendee for over 20 years and contributes to the Children’s Ministry team.
