25 year old Joanne resides in Barrie, Ontario.  She is a graduate of the advertising program at Georgian college.  Currently she works full-time as a merchandiser for a consumer packaged goods company, on weekends you can usually find her working a promotional modeling gig, and in her spare time she pursues a career in modeling and acting.  You might have actually seen her gracing the covers of Novembers Source Circuit City Flyers.

In addition to her jam packed schedule Joanne is also a published Freelance Writer, in fact keep your eyes peeled for the next issue of Teen Glow as Joanne will be publishing an article based on her experiences throughout the course of the pageant.

Joanne has many ambitions in life and would love to see herself doing more work within the magazine publishing industry.  Another career goal of hers is to one day be a television host.  Joanne is ambitious, outgoing, determined, and fun; she is always cracking a joke in an attempt to get a laugh.

Joanne would like to thank her family and friends for believing in her and giving her a supportive shoulder to lean on.  Special thanks goes out to her sponsors, because without you she wouldn’t be here, to Sheila Stanley you believed in her and gave her a chance and for that she is very grateful, to Lori she approached you with very short notice and you still made her a stunning gown it is very much appreciated.  To the rest of the girls in the pageant she would like to say Good Luck, and thanks for helping me out with the choreography. 

Remember:  Everything happens for a reason. “Whatever you can do or dream, you can begin it.  Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."  (Goethe)
