Monica Johnson

I work at the Fredericksburg 15 location in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I usually work full-time during the summer and winter breaks and sometimes part-time during school term. I answer telephones, deal with customer complaints, serve customers, handle cash, and direct and train other employees.

I currently intern for the Leauge of Women Voters of the Fairfax Area, the Sewall-Belmont House and Museum, and the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority on a collaboration to create a memorial to honor the Silent Sentinels imprisoned in 1917-1918 for picketing the White House for woman suffrage. In addition to creating the memorial, the collaboration is working on creating an award, to be given annually, to honor a woman who has made a significant contribution to voting in America.

I worked at Ferry Farm, the boyhood home of George Washington, teaching elementary schoolers about colonial history, basic archaeology, the history of Fredericksburg, and Virginia ecosystems. I also worked at Historic Kenmore, teaching children about life in colonial America.
