Joanna is 27-years-old. She attended the University of Vermont in Burlington, Chittenden County, where she studied business administration and marketing. She was a member of the university’s marketing club and women’s ice hockey club. She also studied graphic design at the Savannah College of Art and Design and was a marketing intern at Church Street Marketplace in Burlington.
Joanna started playing hockey when she was 8-years-old and her platform is to promote gender equality in coaching and explaining her cause, she mentioned, "Out of all those years that I played with a coach, only one of those years I had a female coach, although they were girls’ teams, and then coaching. One year, I was a head coach and I had a male assistant and it felt like every single time they’d shake the man’s hand coach and he’d have too re-direct them. "
