A love for storytelling and music first led Joelle to a bachelor degree in musical theatre in her home state of Ohio. After several years working on both coasts as a professional actor on broadway, TV, commercials, and VO, she found herself drawn to the creativity on the other side of the camera; first as producer, then as a writer/director and finally discovering her favorite role as editor when lack of post-production budgets forced her to learn Media Composer in order to finish cherished projects! "One of the coolest things about storytelling in film and tv has always been the opportunity to effect social change, but now we are seeing that movement in advertisement and social media stories so I think its a very interesting time to be a storyteller in all of these mediums!"
Off set and outside of the editing bay, you can find Joelle fantasizing about travel, bingeing the latest nutrition science, vintage shopping, or in the kitchen trying to recreate healthier versions her grandma’s favorite Filipino dishes!
