Meet Joanna
Joanna was born and raised in Jackson Township and continues to reside in Luzerne County. Growing up in a union household, she has always been drawn to public service and making an impact in her community. As an educator, Joanna has made an impression on hundreds of students and their parents; as a public interest attorney, she has worked diligently to ensure that everyone in our community has a voice; and as a community board member volunteer, she has committed her efforts to bettering life in our community. Currently, she resides in Wyoming, still a proud resident of the 120th District.
Joanna has the experience the people of our community need to represent them in Harrisburg, having served on the Luzerne County Council since 2024 and having spent her career as a public-interest attorney, in public defense and representing victims of domestic violence. With this experience and knowledge, she will be ready to work for you on day one.
