DJ JR
Joanna has always been passionate about the entertainment industry, with an obsession toward music and radio. Her major childhood influencers are America’s Top 40 (Casey Kasem), American Bandstand (Dick Clark), Soul Train (Don Cornelius), and Dance Fever (Deney Terrio). As a kid her favorite local stations were WIGY, WLBM, WMGX. Kid Corey is her most recent DJ mentor and supporter, who has taken this passion to the next level. It’s fitting, her first event was DJing a fundraiser for the Maine Music Alliance. While not born in Maine, Joanna considers herself from Maine, as she has lived here for 97% of her life and her husband IS a Mainer. Coming from a family deeply rooted and active in the community, she can connect with people (and goats) naturally. Joanna earned a Bachelor’s degree in Social Science, from Southern New Hampshire University. She has been working as a Human Resources Professional for over twenty years, within Industry Leading organizations in Animal and Human Health. Phrases that have been used to describe Joanna: she sets high personal standards of performance, she has a strong sense of duty and takes her work seriously, she is “the kindest” person who is “hilarious” and enjoys making people smile (and dance). Combining her passions (people and music) with her husband’s 20+ years of professional sound experience, she would love to be a part of your next gathering.
