Hey y’all! My name is Joie (pronounced like Joey) and I am currently a Senior Music Theatre major with a dance minor at Viterbo University! Originally, I am from Tuscaloosa, Alabama ROLL TIDE but have since taken residence across the midwest and New York. I started dancing when I was two and tried just about every sport and other activity before theatre and dance took my heart. As I dove deeper into the theatre, I began to take on roles both on and off the stage. From teaching dance, building sets, running spot, and stage managing, you could always find me covered in paint or glitter. On top of my performance education at Viterbo, I also serve as Co-Artistic director of our student led theatre company, The Student Theatre Project, and as the Vice President of our improv club, Funny Side Up.

As an artist, I believe in bringing your authentic self into the room and leaving the space in a better place than before I walked in. In highschool I had a mentor who would also preach on the importance of “grace and kindness” and I continue to hold that close to my heart. I hope you are having a great day!
