She is a Creative Content Producer at Lawline, where she began working in 2018 as a video producer.  Prior to her time at Lawline, Joy worked in various entertainment and sports business roles, including with the New York Yankees in sales, and at A+E Networks in marketing. Joy holds a bachelor’s degree in television and video production, and broadcast journalism from SUNY Plattsburgh. She holds a master’s degree in sports management from St. John’s University.

Why she joined the ALC: I joined the ALC to reconnect with OppNet and give back to a community that gave me so much. As I began to think about my contributions, I realized I wanted to help fellow alums who may need continued support and professional development.

One of her favorite books: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Why it's her favorite book: The Alchemist contains inspirational messaging and an engaging narrative. As a poetry lover, I find the amount of symbolism within the text huge.
