Joanne joined the LCF Education Team in 2011. Her passion is being outdoors helping children discover and explore the wonders of nature and the wilderness. She is small in stature but has a big heart for the kids she hikes with. She will tell you this has been the best job she has ever had. She has a BA in Child Development from California State University Long Beach. Joanne has been an educator and instructor in both classroom and business settings and has developed educational programs for both children and adults. She tries to spend as much time as she can with her grandson shooting hoops (not very successfully) talking, and laughing a lot. If she isn’t on a trail, you will likely find her walking at the Dana Point Harbor or Doheny Beach or at home in front of a TV lifting weights with the Peloton instructors or doing Zumba.
