Joan was my first manager in the corporate fitness and wellness industry. She has deservedly advanced to many roles and gained much more experience since our time working together in 2008-2011. Joan's strong work ethic, organizational skills, and team development taught me many of the skills that I still use today. She's a polished professional who is passionate about helping people. She will make an excellent addition to any team.

I worked with Joan for several years in different capacities managing a large and complex client’s robust wellness program. She was always up for a challenge and solved problems in a thoughtful and thorough way. When I became her supervisor I was able to trust that she was managing tasks that came to her as well as proactively identifying what needed to get done to ensure the best client and participant experience possible.
