Joanna’s journey has been marked by a steadfast commitment to supporting military families and navigating
diverse career paths with resilience and adaptability.
 

Born into a military family, Joanna developed a deep appreciation for the sacrifices and challenges faced by
service members and their loved ones from an early age. This upbringing instilled in her a sense of duty and compassion that would shape her future endeavors.

After completing a master’s degree in human relations, Joanna embarked on a journey that took her through various career paths, each driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact and serve others. Her professional experiences include federal government contracting, Marine Corps personal and family readiness, K-12 and higher education, consulting and IT program management. Currently, Joanna is helping a small but mighty IT Consulting firm, Arbory Digital, scale as their Senior Program Manager while running her own consulting and training firm, Green Zone Corporate Training.
 

Outside of her professional endeavors, Joanna enjoys co-hosting the podcast The Working Spouse Club, serving as the Vice Chairwoman for the Jacksonville Onslow Chamber of Commerce’s Military Affairs Committee, the Program Director for Whole Vet’s Military and Veteran Enablement Coalition (MVEC), a coach for Honor Foundation, a mentor for American Corporate Partners, working out, playing
volleyball, and refereeing youth soccer.
