She was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2015 from MacEwan University. Most recently Joana is as a Registered Nurse working in Canmore!

Jo has struggled with her own mental health being diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety in 2018. She has a strong passion for encouraging individuals to actively participate in daily self-care and self-love and take care of their physical, mental and spiritual health. She is an active runner, journaller and deeply passionate about bridging medical-focused health with holistic wellness. She is currently taking courses to become a meditation practitioner and mindfulness coach outside of her full-time career in nursing to better support others with their wellness journey.

Along with her friends Linda and Brittany, she also believes The Intersection will not only help alleviate the gap within our health system, but also provide ALL humans with the opportunity to learn how to better care and advocate for themselves, as knowledge truly is power.
