A former teacher at California State University Dominguez Hills and a life-long student, Joyce has a passion for helping others fulfill their potential academically and physically. 

When asked why she chooses to instruct at Beach Cities Health District, Joyce says, “I’ve had the same transformative experiences here that many others have when they join: weight loss, increased strength and fitness, higher energy levels, better bone density, as well as the social benefits associated with joining the BCHD community.  So I had a strong desire to join this wonderful organization and help give back to the Beach Cities.”

When Joyce isn’t teaching Body Sculpting classes, she can generally be found jogging or hiking.
