Maureen (Mo) Johnson: Mo is an advocate for cooperative multigenerational communities, a passionate roadtripper, an exuberant mountain biker and an accidental interdisciplinarian.

One day, she read a book on malaria and became fascinated by modern day culture and disease. This led her to work in infectious disease research where she credits her research mentor with cultivating her global perspective on ethics and social justice. With his encouragement, she moved from her public-health policy and community work in Texas to Lima, Peru, where she worked as in-field coordinator for a pilot research project that sought to understand neurological development of children living in extreme poverty.

A firm believer in work/life balance, that work led her to gracefully backpack and awkwardly surf for six months before moving to the Bay Area. While working as a nanny and exploring other gigs, she learned to code for social science research, made adventure art, and spent time biking while hanging out with radical feminists.

These adventures led her to Data for Democracy, where she acted as moderator for the responsible communications working group and is now the community manager for the Global Data Ethics Project.
