Johnson saw action in the PVL during the 2019 Reinforced Conference, where she steered the Petro Gazz Angels to the title against then reigning champion Creamline. She was also hailed the Finals MVP for helping the core of Djanel Cheng, Jonah Sabete, Steph Mercado, and Cherry Nunag unseat the Cool Smashers.

Before that, Johnson also reinforced the BaliPure-NU, guiding the likes of then rising stars Joyme Cagande, Roma Doromal, Bella Belen, Jen Nierva, Faith Nisperos, and Ivy Lacsina.
