Johanna tiene amplia experiencia en litigios a nivel estatal, federal y en diversas instancias de apelación, así como en la preparación y presentación de pruebas en los tribunales estadounidenses en casos internacionales (discovery). También ha asesorado en arbitrajes internacionales y privados, en casos ante tribunales extranjeros y en mediaciones, y participado en trabajos de consultoría para organismos gubernamentales.

Antes de incorporarse a Jones Day, Johanna encabezó el programa de resolución y prevención de conflictos en la Fundación Arias, fundada por Oscar Arias, laureado del Premio Nobel de la Paz y presidente de Costa Rica.
