Hi, I'm Joyce. I'm an author/illustrator/teacher but I'm often sidetracked by volunteer leadership roles for nonprofit organizations.
I'm a Filipino-American from Miami (my Spanish is better than my Tagalog). I lived in Michigan in my 20's (I still rock the 734 area code) and currently reside in a small town in Northern California with my family, a bearded dragon and a house panther named Mr. Ray. Previously, I was a college radio DJ, toy and activity book designer, children's animation instructor, elementary science teacher, and roller derby referee - AKA Mrs.Rage. These days, I am trying to bring a little joy to the world on my quest to become one of those happy old ladies who live past 100.
