She has twice been in the Top 6 (and was 2021 runner-up) of the CBS2 Audition Spotlight Promo Competition at That’s Voiceover; and twice a Top 12 Finalist on the Ultimate VO Survivor. 

A Jo of All Trades, she is also an award-winning fine artist and writer, occasionally ghost-writes / edits and designs books for publication, and has survived a long and eclectic career behind the scenes in entertainment, first as an estate manager, bookkeeper and celeb personal assistant, on and off the set.  She was assistant-napped by a delightfully eccentric impresario, for whom she was lead coordinator / production manager of award shows and concerts, including multiple galas for the American Cinema Awards Foundation in LA; The International Achievement in Arts Awards in London; and Michael Jackson, 30th Anniversary Celebration at Madison Square Garden in NY.  She also coordinated the six-day Platform International Animation Festival (under the Cartoon Network banner) in Portland, OR, and served as law office administrator/paralegal on the Robert Blake trial.

Joanne first started producing gala program books for said events, back in the dark ages when photos were marked by hand with wax pencils.  Along the way, as technology advanced, she picked up some mad skills in Photoshop, InDesign and WordPress, and is thrilled to put them to use as part of Team VORG.
