Hi, I'm Joyce, a Filipino-American author/illustrator/teacher who is often sidetracked by volunteer leadership roles for nonprofit organizations. Originally from Miami, I lived in Michigan for a while there, and currently reside in a small town in 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, middle school animation instructor, elementary science teacher, and sometimes I'm Mrs.Rage, a roller derby referee. These days, I teach Yearbook and Academic Skills at an independent grade 6-12 school and work on various art and illustration projects that bring others joy.
My collection of college degrees include a BA in art history from the University of Miami, BFA in digital animation from the College of Creative Studies, and a MA in education with a focus on language arts from the University of Michigan.
