As the Founder of the National Association of Divorce for Women and Children, Joanie's passion is to help women during and after divorce and all single moms to be the best they can be as well as become role models for their children and community. The 24/7 Resource Center, was created not only because of the lack of support and guidance Joanie experienced after her divorce, but for the many women who experience the same challenges. Joanie is also the Divorce Specialist for the National Association of Baby Boomer Women.  

Joanie became a successful business owner of a True Value Hardware store at the age of twenty five. After eighteen years in the retail arena, she embarked on a professional career as a speaker, author, business/personal coach specializing in divorce, Certified Behavior Specialist, and a Certified Laughter Leader.

Joanie speaks around the country and her diverse clientele is in the retail, health care, non-profit sector, and education industries. She is also the author of Rising to the Top, A Guide to Self Development.

To continue to help provide a healthy lifestyle for women and children, Joanie is the Founder of the non-profit Happy Wednesday Foundation which provides funding for women's educational mentoring programs during and after divorce.

Joanie is a proud mom of two children- Kristy, 29, a Doctor of Audiology and Michael, 25, a graduate of Bentley College.
