Community Director

Joanie is a former Division I swimmer at UCLA and a lifelong athlete who understands both the discipline and pressure that come with high-level sport. She has coached at both the high school and college level, getting first hand experience into how much coaches carry.

After getting her Master’s Degree from UCLA in Transformative Coaching and Leadership, she found a passion for the growth and development of individuals. She has long believed that leaders are most effective when they are in a good place themselves first.

Inside The Coaches CORE, Joanie helps shape the community experience and the culture members feel when they show up. Her goal is to make sure every coach feels seen, supported, and connected to a space that helps them lead at their best.
