Bio: An iron ore miner's daughter, JoAnn was born and raised on the iron range of northern Minnesota. She obtained a psychology degree from the University of Minnesota. To her father's dismay, JoAnn put her degree to use on a 32 year flight attendant profession.
While moving to seven states and working through four airline mergers, she has experienced the industry from puddle jumpers to wide bodies, Buckingham Palace to the Corn Palace, and Midwest farmers to Parisians. From this degree of expertise she outlined her frustrations in her book *99 Ways to Make a Flight Attendant Fly-- Off the Handle!*
JoAnn is trying to find a publisher for her second book *When Bluebirds Fly*, a memoir-novel on the drowning death of her son.
