It is hard to say whether Joanna found this work, or it found her, but she is ideally suited for it. As a teenager, Joanna first exhibited that she is not afraid to try new things and take big risks when she graduated from high school and left her acting career in NYC to move to Los Angeles for college (Yes, she is the only person in the world who moved to Hollywood in order to QUIT acting). Joanna’s idea to give life in Los Angeles a shot lasted for 30 years, but her attempt to get out of the entertainment industry was short-lived, since she ended up with a successful career behind the camera as a communications executive in the television and film industries. In a nutshell, Joanna has moved 15 times, bought and sold 11 cars, overseen Corporate Communications at 5 major media companies, obtained 5 graduate degrees while working, married one very nice guy with whom she has an even nicer divorce, and eventually moved back to NYC to spend more time with her mom. Currently, she is a Board Director for public and private companies, gives keynote talks for fun, and spends whatever free time she has with her two dogs watching football (NFL and NCAA).
