A
former in-house practitioner, Joan knows what
works and what doesn’t, and therefore can

real-world solutions. She conducts interactive

that define, identify and attempt to alter inappropriate,
offensive or harassing behaviors.
Concerned
with enhancing each organization’s capability
to meet its goals, Joan focuses her efforts on
those initiatives that produce results—quickly,
efficiently and effectively. And she does so with
a sense of urgency second to none. For over twenty
years Joan has led her clients in the recruitment
and development of a competent and confident work
force. She has designed successful recruitment
strategies and provided high volume recruitment
efforts in diverse environments such as the biopharmaceutical
