Joan coordinates program expansion in new districts and participates in educator workshops in the core and founding CSP site, Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, KY.
Joan completed a Ph.D. in counselor education at Auburn University and a master’s in educational and counseling psychology at the University of Tennessee. For several years at Vanderbilt University, she coordinated reading, math and social-emotional learning programs in Nashville elementary schools and taught as an adjunct instructor in the school counseling program.
