Joanne is a proud graduate of Palmer and continues to work as Associate Pastor of Mt. Hope United Methodist Church. Her focus is Visitation and Congregation Care, and she feels humbled and privileged to enter the sacred space of individuals and families who need pastoral care. 

Joanne feels blessed by her time at Palmer, having been influenced by the professors, staff, and fellow students. She was honored to serve alongside her classmates on Student Assembly for two years and desires, as an ambassador, to help alumni keep that connection to each other through fellowship.
