With an impressive track record of delivering complex construction projects that seamlessly integrate form and function, Joanna embodies the future of innovative project management.
Armed with a Master of Science in Project Management with a focus on Construction Management from Northwestern University and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Southern California, Joanna has cultivated a strong foundation in both the technical and creative aspects of construction management. Her career began at Swinerton Builders as an Intern Project Engineer, where she quickly climbed the ranks at Gilbane Building Company, taking on roles as Project Engineer, Superintendent, and Project Manager before her tenure at Boost Mobile.
Joanna’s portfolio includes significant projects such as the modernization of semiconductor manufacturing facilities and the development of college admissions buildings, demonstrating her ability to manage multifaceted projects from conception to completion.

Outside her professional commitments, Joanna enjoys a variety of hobbies, including crocheting, dancing, golfing, and watching reality TV, which reflect her vibrant personality and balanced lifestyle.
