With a solid educational foundation, Joyce embarked on a career path centered on early childhood family education, human services, and public health. Her professional journey commenced in Syracuse, where she initially worked with pregnant and parenting adolescents.

Joyce's responsibilities extended to supervising sites and staff citywide, as well as teaching parents and their children from pregnancy through school entry. To further enhance her teaching credentials, she pursued additional certifications at the University of Minnesota and St. Cloud State University.
Joyce eventually returned to Niagara Falls, where she continued her professional journey by engaging in substitute teaching. She later joined Health Systems Niagara, overseeing their Community Oriented Primary Care grant. Additionally, she and her husband established a nonprofit agency specializing in grant writing and workshops aimed at improving outcomes for underserved populations.
