Joelle’s life changed for the better in June 2017 when she pursued a life-changing opportunity with J. Morita MFG Corporation.

As she settled into her role, Joelle continued to expand her skillset. For example, Joelle took over the role of creating and editing documents in English with marketing applications like InDesign, Illustrator and Dreamweaver. Although she had no prior experience with these applications, Joelle took the time to teach herself how to operate them This led her to efficiently update instruction manuals, create marketing documents and prepare new websites in English for the organization.
