Don't just take my word for it! 


"Joy not only cares about her subject, she takes every opportunity to learn and share her newly found knowledge with readers. She is personable, responsible, an excellent communicator, and a proven asset to our publication and to her community."
~Gary Rutkowski
The St. Albans Messenger


"Joy is someone who grabs onto her assignments with great enthusiasm and turns in stories that meet a high journalistic standard. This means that she approaches her subjects fairly and with an open mind, leaving no stone unturned. Deadlines are no obstacle for her, nor is treading into unknown territory."
~Ethan Dezotell, Former Editor
The County Courier

I provide accurate, well-researched, and well- organized information for every assignment I work on. Final products, whether a 2000 word article, a re-vamped brochure, or content for a Web site, are completed with maximum attention to detail.

Careful editing and proofreading, professional service, and strict attention to deadlines are all important elements in any project which I undertake.

Making a Difference

Besides my work, I'm passionate about environmental, social and animal welfare issues. I volunteer with organizations working to help animals, to end sex trafficking and those dedicated to promoting the health of the environment.

But volunteering isn't everything. Incorporating my values into my day-to-day life is vitally important to me. I do my best to be a good steward of all the resources I have by incorporating simple things into my life. Along with my family I recycle, use non-disposables as much as possible, cook "real" food, and let others know how fun and easy it is to incorporate little things like this into their daily routine.
