Joan and her husband Mike moved to the neighborhood in 2016 and she has been president of the SBNA since 2018. Professionally, she has worked in marketing, public outreach, decorative painting and wine sales. (Not all at the same time, haha) Her favorite part of living here? That even though we live in the city, our corner of Boston feels like a real neighborhood where you run into friends and familiar faces every day, and where neighbors truly help one another.
