She attended Emory University for her BA, Auburn University at Montgomery for her Master's in Liberal Arts, and law school at the University of South Carolina.

Joann often describes being in court and working on appeals as her chocolate. She has been involved in several high profile cases and cases on first impression that have been written about in The Los Angeles Times, The National Law Journal, The New York Times Magazine, Correctional Mental Health Report, and the Fulton County Daily Report and has over a dozen published appellate opinions. Joann's practice is now completely focused on appeals.
