Hi, my name is Amaiya J. Johnson. The only person who uses my middle name is my mom formally, so don’t feel pressure to remember it. I was born in Henrico, VA but raised in Chesterfield, VA. I live about 10 minutes outside of Richmond. ODU’s campus and atmosphere was different than any other school I had toured. In high school I discovered a wide range of hobbies that I enjoyed ranging from debate to colorguard to politics. In addition to those listed, I enjoy being outside including paddleboarding, canoing, and playing beach volleyball. A fun fact about me is that when I was younger I met the entire Pittsburgh Steelers team, including Troy Polamalu, and the marching band I performed with are 12x state superiors. I will be graduating in Spring 2024.
