Joanne served as parish deacon at Holy Faith Church in Inglewood for several years and most recently at St. John’s Cathedral in downtown Los Angles. During this time, working with a consortium of urban churches, she helped to establish innovative nutrition and fitness programs to promote improved health for their congregations and surrounding communities. She is currently serving as chair of the board of the Jubilee Consortium. Joanne also has long standing links with UCLA, where she was an adjunct professor in the School of Public Health for 15 years.
