I started Joy & Associates in Las Vegas in 1999 and have coached thousands of businesses and individuals. My philosophy is “people who feel good about themselves produce better results, both personally and professionally”.

I worked with the AARP Foundation and launched their Back to Work 50+ Program in Southern Nevada with Workforce Connections. Along with facilitating their workshops and my hands-on training, hundreds of otherwise unemployed seniors became a vital part of the workforce.

I have always been passionate about people living life joyfully – defined as inner contentment, living life by their design, and standing in gratitude by sharing their wisdom.

I started as a corporate trainer and business consultant. One day I realized that no matter how successful a business was, if the owner was miserable, it affected business and vice versa. People have always fascinated me and I began my journey in understanding motivational behaviors, relationship awareness, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Rather than create policies and procedures for business, I have developed policies and procedures for a happy and successful life.
