Joan graduated from SPHS in 1999 and went to sunny San Diego for school. She graduated in 2003 from UCSD with a B.A. in Human Development and a minor in Psychology.

Joan took a year off working at a really random job then decided to go and get her teaching credential at CSUN. She hopes to finish up in a semester or two and begin her job hunt again.

Although people keep calling Joan a swimmer, she hasn't really swam in 5 years unless you call wading at the beach swimming.

A few of Joan's favorite things are God, messages that make your brain hurt, caramel frappucinos, food, singing, crafts, Nichole Nordeman and the number 22
