“Joan first taught high school after she graduated from the University of Rochester with a degree in English, but then detoured to law school. After practicing law for many years, she realized that she missed the classroom and returned to teaching part time as an adjunct college professor and a tutor of high school students, while also raising her two children. In addition, she has sat on the boards of two nonprofit organizations in Waltham: an after-school program for low-income children who live in a public housing complex, and a day care center for families with moderate income. Joan loves meeting and working with students of all ages.“
