As a Data Engineering Manager, Francesca Johnson not only ensures operational flow in her team’s projects, but she also incorporates flow into her personal life by filling her days with movement.

“I work out every morning, then play pickleball or tennis with friends and do yoga or dog walks in the evenings,” she says.

Her commitment to professional growth is reflected in the thoughtful, structured way she approaches her work. That same intentionality extends into her personal life, where she prioritizes daily movement that keeps her energized. 

“I get up early and do my workout before work so I can check it off. I also make it a priority, so I always get my activity in no matter what. It's just a part of my daily routine now,” she says.

Staying active isn’t only about fitness for Francesca – it’s a foundation of her overall well-being and balanced lifestyle. 

“Around 10 years old, I joined a gym because I knew an active lifestyle was important,” she says. “It's not just about being fit, it's more of a lifestyle that I've cultivated to feel healthy.”

Francesca’s dedication was not only shaped by passion but also by necessity. Living with an autoimmune disorder, she quickly learned that movement was essential to managing her health. 

“I have fibromyalgia, and the best medicine is 30 to 60 minutes of cardio a day so that my muscles hurt less. Activity is medicine to my body, so I am driven to make sure I feel my best,” she says.

By aligning her work, wellness, and routine, Francesca creates a flow that empowers her to thrive and be well — both in and out of the office.
