Joi completed the MBA program at Grand Canyon University in 2014 and worked as an advisor at GCU for nearly 5 years. Other jobs held were personal banker at Wells Fargo Bank and her last position as Graduate Program Coordinator for W.P. Carey’s School of Business at ASU.
Today and since August 2019, Joi has worked exclusively as an entrepreneur, for Anointed Hands Tax II Inc., as the owner and principal accountant.
