Sabrina Johnson: Engineer by Day, Musician by Heart

Author: Veronica Malolos, CCIM January 10, 2025 Duration: 18:40

In the latest episode of Women Influencers, host Veronica Malolos speaks with Sabrina Johnson, an accomplished mechanical engineer and emerging musical artist, about her journey of self-discovery, perseverance, and balancing dual passions.

Sabrina shares her upbringing as a second-generation South Indian American, crediting her parents' emphasis on discipline and extracurriculars with sparking her love for music and storytelling. While pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Maryland, music remained a constant source of solace during her most challenging moments, particularly in college when she battled mental health struggles and imposter syndrome.


The COVID-19 pandemic became a turning point for Sabrina, allowing her to reconnect with herself, dive deeper into music, and take bold steps to build her career. From networking with mentors to landing her first Hallmark movie placement, Sabrina demonstrates the power of resilience and determination.


Her advice to "be comfortable being uncomfortable" resonates with anyone striving to overcome self-doubt and embrace authenticity. Sabrina’s story highlights the importance of staying true to oneself and using personal challenges as a foundation for creativity and growth.


“Your authenticity is your superpower. Don’t dim your light—let it shine.” – Sabrina Johnson
