Joanna has a passion for serving people and a love for learning. She tackles hard problems and seeks solutions for all parties involved. Whether working with a seller or a buyer, Joanna prioritizes trust, working on her client’s behalf with integrity and forthrightness.

Prior to becoming a real estate agent, Joanna spent twenty years devoted to being a teacher. She worked tirelessly to ensure that her students were well-educated and prepared for their futures. Serving in a small-town, private school, she juggled classes of varying subjects and
grades.  Nothing filled her with more gratitude than watching her students move on to become well-accomplished adults.

Joanna’s interest in real estate began with the purchase of the old Benji’s building in Plains, Montana, and supervising the full renovation thereof. Once the building was serving the community again, she obtained her real estate license. She has been working with Montana Realty Partners ever since.

Outside of real estate, Joanna is most passionate about striving to be a wonderful wife to her husband of twenty-five years and a proud supporter of her three children. In her free time, she also enjoys reading, crocheting, teaching a kids’ class, tutoring, playing and singing music, and enjoying the Montana mountains!

Joanna holds an Associate’s in Christian Education and is a licensed Real Estate Agent.
