Thank you Joanna so much for sitting down with us to get a glimpse of your past, present and future!

Before Joanna ended up in Holliston, she actually lived in Hawaii and California as a child!  Some of her fondest memories from high school were the radio show at Holliston High School (if anyone has any of these recordings please let us know ;) ).

After high school, Joanna headed to UMass Amherst with an original interest in the sciences.  Once she did an internship over the summer, she decided her pre-vet tract wasn't the right fit for her and switched her focus.

She ended up transferring to Regis in pursuit of a nursing degree while working as an EMT on the side.  While at Regis, she ended up getting accepted into a full-time position on the Mass Port Fire Department where she still is!  At that time, she was living up around the Salisbury area trying to switch off kids on rotating shifts with her husband who also works at Mass Port Fire Department.

Because of the challenging exchange with her kids most mornings, her and her family decided to move back to Holliston, so her parents could help take care of the kids.  Now, she says she's never going to leave Holliston!

Thanks again so much for stopping by Joanna, you're a superstar!
