She did substitute teaching until she was hired by Health Systems Niagara to oversee their Community Oriented Primary Care grant. She also incorporated a not for profit agency with her husband in which they did grant writing and workshops aimed at improving outcomes for underserved populations. Her honors include a Fellowship at Syracuse University, and another at The Minneapolis Foundation funded by The National Center for Children in Poverty at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. She was also selected to be a member of the first group to receive a Train the Trainer Certificate from The Culturally Relevant Anti-Bias Education Leadership Project led by Louise Derman Sparks from Pacific Oaks College. Joyce is currently retired and still has the interest in lifelong learning and innovation in early education and parenting.
