Joanna trained at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London, and The New York Film Academy, NY.

Although she started life as a dancer (at 2 years old), she soon found her love for all things stage-y; first as an actress, before settling into a career as a TV presenter.

Joanna started her presenting career by hosting two behind-the-scenes shows for Channel 5's popular soap Home and Away in Australia, and is best known for her work as a regular presenter in the Cbeebies House. She has also presented The Let's Go Club on Cbeebies, Laugh Out Loud (for Nickelodeon), and is a main presenter for the CBeebies channel in the Middle East. She also hosted BBC Live Lessons, and has enjoyed hosting The Cbeebies Bedtime Story Tent throughout the summer.

Joanna has presented for various corporate companies over the years, including the FA, Citibank, HSBC, the NHS, and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, as well as hosting the Watoto Children's choir videos in Uganda.

Her acting credits include: Doctors (BBC), Little Britain (BBC), Holby City (BBC), The Princess in Aladdin (Catford Broadway), Belle in Beauty & The Beast (Big Top Panto in Redhill Memorial Park), Cbeebies' The Night Before Christmas, The Snow Queen, Dick Whittington and His Cat, and Robin Hood, Benvolia in Romeo and Juliet, and Charles the wrestler in Shakespeare's As You Like It (at the Globe Theatre).

Joanna is looking forward to playing The Good Fairy in this year's production of Sleeping Beauty.
